RE: Dreaming of Santo Domingo
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Looking at your photographs is like seeing the non-touristy side of Santo Domingo, that side of every city that you don't normally see on a tour and that escapes the reality of those tourists but also exists. The exterior facades of the houses, their colonial style, even those cables that criss-cross the streets and are characteristic of many countries in Latin America and Central America as well.
You show the need for street maintenance in many cases, as well as buildings that have been converted into museums, for example. That is the reality of walking, of travelling through the streets of a place on your own, and Santo Domingo is very beautiful and picturesque. Thank you for bringing it to us. Hugs!

Thank you @topcomment and @stresskiller, thank you very much!🤗
This particular area called Zona Colonial is interesting because you can see many historic sights that are well maintained and others that require more maintenance. When I was there earlier this year, I saw a lot of construction on the streets because they are upgrading them. So that was wonderful to see, even if it was in front of my hotel, because in addition to fixing a few problems, the work rejuvenates the area and provides many jobs for the locals.
This is another shot of the area.
I didn't realize there was someone in the building looking at me :D
There is always someone watching!👀
Beautiful construction.🤗
