    Come one, Cabarete...... I like Cabarete, but you can't compar Cabarete or Sosua to Puerto Plata. Puerto Plata is a city; Cabarete and Sosua are not. I understand that a lot of expats here on DR1 live in Sosua or Cabarete and like it, but asking why big fast food companies are not going there is...

    The North Coast. Why?

    I don't think a lot of people decide to go live "on the north coast"..... They decide to go live in Cabarete or Sosua or Puerto Plata (or another place), those " are so different. I for example live in Puerto Plata, but I would never want to live in Cabarete or Sosua. And a lot of friends of...

    Pepper spray -is it available to buy on the north coast?

    North Coast - A stupid question.

    I have a bar in Puerto Plata, so I know a lot of gringos in Puerto Plata, some of them are here on DR1, but I think most of the expats here on DR1 north coast live in Sosua, so there are a lot that I don"tknow.

    I went to Blue Bay last week because they have great promotions. This week: 2 days, 1 night, 2 people: 7000 pesos. You can't beat that. It was not the best I went to, but for that price I wasn't dissapointed

    they have a baseball team: tiburones del norte. They play in the summer league. They were champions a couple of years ago. But indeed it would be good if they would have a team in the winter league again. Anyway, I am European, I go with a lot of friends to Atlantico (the football team) every...
