San Pedro de Macorís

San Pedro de Macoris is a town about an hour east of the capital.  It’s known as the “land of shortstops” for the large number of baseballs players that have come from San Pedro, including Sammy Sosa.  


Pasteles en hoja

Previously pasteles en hoja was not my favorite food, but I found some I loved!  This restaurant, Amable, is famous for their pasteles en hoja.  (In fact, they don’t serve anything else.)  Pasteles en hoja are mashed platanos or yuca filled with meat or vegetables and are cooked wrapped in plantain leaves.

La Cueva de las Maravillas is a well preserved cave with over 500 pictographs, petroglyphs, and engravings.  The cave’s architects won the International Landscape Architecture Bienal Award in 2003 for the beautifully designed foot paths and lighting.
