From today's Sosua News:
It is low season in Sos?a and that shows. During the day on the beach there are almost no tourists. Only in the weekend it is busy but it are mostly Dominican visitors from Santiago, La Vega and Puerto Plata. Also 'mi gente' (own people) from Santo Domingo come over for the weekend to enjoy a few days at the resort Casa Marina. Yet it is in the main street Pedro Clisante still busy every evening, for example the Rumba Bar and Willy's Bar are still popular entertainment places at night. Especially tourists from the USA are apparently the majority of the guests.
Many smaller bars have to close their doors temporarily. 'Winner's Circle Bar' opposite the merenguebar has temporarily closed its doors. Also 'City Lights' after the reopening which was unsuccessful (due to heavy rains the reopening was a dissapointment) again indefinitely closed its doors. Moreover, the 'Happy Bar' opposite PJ's restaurant, formerly so popular with Dominican music and dance lovers, provisionally maintains close after a little remodeling. We have to wait until October, as tourism picks up again. Sos?a is definitely ready, that's for sure!
