In a corner of the world where it still seems possible to see ships arriving from the four cardinal points on the coast, the first European city in Americaawaits: Santo Domingo. The original seat of the colonial government of Spain in the New World, it owes its strategic importance to its Colonial City, a World Heritage Site, the Gothic Cathedral of Santa María and its fortresses. Endless beaches are characteristic of its geography, and the character of its people is the intoxicating spirit that conquers travelers without exception.
As the first Spanish settlement on the continent, Santo Domingo is home to the first of key historical monuments: the first cathedral in the New World (the Catedral Primada), the first fortress (la Fortaleza Ozama), the first university, the first palace and the first monastery. Although in its colonial streets there is also room for modern skyscrapers and complexes such as the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Santo Domingo; tradition that does not renounce the present.
This innovative attitude turns the capital into a business center that attracts businessmen from all over the world to its profile of strengths, its historic plazas and the Malecón. In this context, the financial center is not such, but the city is dotted with businesses, which is why Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Santo Domingo is perfect for combining work and leisure.
There are also infinite beaches in the Dominican capital such as El Macao, declared by Unesco as one of the best in the Caribbean Sea. Resting in front of the turquoise waters framed by a city frozen in time is an original picture, to say the least, and one that contrasts with the bustle of cultural and artistic activity in Santo Domingo.
One of the best cultural displays in the city is its gastronomy of regional dishes such as sancocho, meat stew, cassava and plantain, which are also featured on the menu at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Santo Domingo.
