You have to go to the center of town, that's where the Central Park is located and get some "Pastelones (de Platano) en hojas" - they are supposed to be the best, banana snacks made in plantain leaves, in the entire world.

Just outside the town, on the road that goes to La Romana, you will find on your left side, about 1 km. from the road, Colegio Moriah. Situated in the barrio Las Colinas. This is a new built primary school, mainly for the poorest children that live in the bateys of the sugar cane workers. This project started around 2001 and has now around 400 children getting education. With help from American, Dutch and German friends, this is a still growing and expanding complex. There is a guest house and a possibility to stay and help. Ask for Tanis or Esther, who are the founders of the school and Baptist church on the terrain.
