La Boca -Gone!

[appleman]

which side of the river is this happening as to me it is not clear either? The La Boca I know and visit regurlarly is accessed via the turn to Paraiso del Sol or through Jardin Deportivo? Is this the place that has been demolished or is it on the other side of the river mouth?

I believe you have the right place. I get turned around out there but I think it would be on the West? side of the river, or the side closest to Cabarete. I go past Paiaiso del Sol to get to it.

I am glad to hear that the access is still open and hope it remains that way.

Any updates on La Boca? So many rumors about who destroyed the restaurants. Was it a Russian developer or Canadian? Did authorities get the owners of the restaurants any compensation. It is such a shame such a charming icon of local culture was sseemingly ruined by gringo greed.

A Canadian represents the purchasers, whose nationality I have no idea. I don't see what difference that makes anyway.
Restaurant owners were compensated, per one of those whose place was leveled. He's already up and going again but in a more rustic way. Visitors still seem to still really like it.
