a last minute trip to las terrenas in dominican republic was a great idea. it’s sunset colors and beautiful beaches are what attract visitors from all over the globe.
this is playa bonita, known for surfing, nature lovers and locals who come enjoy this area. unlike all-inclusive resort towns (no thanks), this is highly walkable, lived in community where you can stroll from the sand to beachfront restaurants. there is authentic french and italian cuisine, but my favorite was the “comida criolla” … also known as typical dominican food.
Such as: Mangu, salami doninicano, sancocho, pollo guisado and habichuelas.
My palate is still missing the fusion of these amazing tropical flavors and vibrant colored foods. It all tasted like. home.
