Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola, an island it shares with Haiti in the Caribbean Sea. The interior rises sharply into the Cordillera Central, while the coasts flatten into beaches of varying character — some busy with resorts, others edged with mangroves and fishing villages. Merengue drifts from open doorways, and the smell of sofrito in the heat is a constant.
About Dominican Republic

Bordering Haiti to the west, the Dominican Republic faces the Atlantic to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south. Santo Domingo is the capital and largest city, and Spanish is the official language. The currency is the Dominican peso. The country has a mixed cultural identity shaped by Taíno, West African, and Spanish influences, expressed clearly in its music, food, and religious traditions.
