The Dominican Republic is a beautiful Caribbean island located 1 1/2 away from Miami Airport, it was explored by Columbus on his first voyage in 1492. He named it La Española, and his son, Diego, was its first viceroy. The capital, Santo Domingo, founded in 1496, is the oldest European settlement in the Western Hemisphere. Today this beautiful island is famous for its miles of white sand beaches, rich mix of cultures and friendly people. The old colonial city is a must see for visitors, with impressive Spanish architecture dating back to the original Spanish settlers. February is time for Carnival, where people dress up as all sorts of characters, ranging from devils to politicians. The country has become the vacation destination of choice for tourists from Europe and the Americas traveling to the Caribbean each year.
