    Cabarete Jazz Festival in Puerto Plata this 20 and 21 June

    It’s unfortunate to see such confusion and misplaced criticism in this article posted above. First and foremost, let’s be clear: this year’s Cabarete Jazz Fest was not organized by FEDUJAZZ, the foundation behind the once-annual free for all DR Jazz Festival (last held in 2022 I believe?). To my...

    Air Europa: Madrid - Santiago - Madr

    I looked into that, especially after World2Fly stopped flying the same route last year which was a great alternative to the super expensive flights from POP to Europe. With World2Fly you could get flights as low as 500 Euros both ways, so I was hoping AirEuropa was offering similar...

    Santiago now has direct flights to Europe

    Last year I flew STI - MAD with World2Fly, which was a fantastic experience and half the price of the horrible Condor flight to get to Europe. Unfortunately, World2Fly does not fly to STI anymore, they only serve SDQ and Punta Cana at the moment. It would be wonderful if AirEuropa will offer...

    Dental Implants

    My hubby had implants done last month in Cabarete. We checked prices at several dentists, and all were around the same. It's 40,000.- Pesos per implant and later 35,000,- for a zirconia crown over the implant. Porcelain crown is slightly cheaper.

    Bruessel or Amsterdam?

    Look into World2Fly from Madrid to STI or SDQ. We had a wonderful flight with them last month, half the price (!) of Condor from FRA and 100x times better, more comfortable, great food and services and extremely nice staff. Since their rates are so cheap you can easily upgrade to their Premium...

    Cool sculpting Treatment in DR

    If you ever wondered why Cabarete people are so beautiful: We have a hidden gem located on the second floor of Plaza Media Luna (across the entrance to Millennium). I'm not sure though if Dr. Laura does cool sculpting, but she offers a wide variety of facial and body treatments, if there is...

    Planting Boxes

    Yep, thanks, I have such an app. For the above I simply took the photo and did a reverse image search and got the leave miners 'diagnostic'. Either Neem oil or h peroxide mixture was what most sites suggest, since I have the later at home, I'm trying this for now.

    Planting Boxes

    Thank you! And yes, like I said I started all from seeds just a bit over 5 weeks ago and every morning it's a joy and excitement to check the 'babies' and see what it new today, lol! The small bamboo stick I had for the spinach to climb up got too short, he got an old broom stick today! And for...

    Planting Boxes

    Funny to find this here, I just started a little over 5 weeks ago with my 'Project Balcony Finca'. Like the original poster here I have no previous garden experience and we live beachfront - so my hopes for success were not very high. Surprisingly, so far every plant is doing great. Tomato and...

    Do-it-Yourself Temporary Residency Renewal Procedure

    Make you you have your login and the bank receipt with the CIS number both with your cedula or both with your passport. If your login is with the cedula, but you got the receipt from the bank with your passport it will give you this error. If that's the case the easiest 'fix' is go again to the...
