Las Terranas Town, Samana Province, Dominican Republic - Caribbean island holiday
We are in the town of Las Terrenas located in the Samaná province of the Dominican Republic. This is a walking tour of the town which starts on the Las Terranas main road and also includes a walk on the beach road. We where there in December and this is actually New Year (31/12). The video follows our walk up the main road where we try to give the viewer an idea of the atmosphere of this rather small Caribbean island fishing town.
The main road offers tourists a limited number of shops, restaurants and excursion sale agents. On the beach road there are a few more restaurants and bars and also a very limited local shopping center. As tourists who enjoy visiting local towns in the destinations we visit we where rather disappointed with the Town of Las Terranas. Our opinion (just our opinion) was that the town lacked the local (Dominican) business and culinary experiences that you for example meet in Asia. Street kitchens etc. although local art was very abundant!! The Les Terranas area is full of hotels catering to all needs. Many of the hotels are big all inclusive resorts which are very popular with Canadian and American tourists, also the European charter tourists who typically seem to stay at these resorts for 14 days (just as we ourselves did).
Wiki writes about Las Terrenas, It is internationally known for its high rate of tourism and its white sand beaches and clear waters. Among the most frequented places visitors are mostly European nationality Spanish, Italian, French and German. One of the best known people or community in the town, is the village of fishermen. Its name comes from the town was formerly mainly inhabited by fishermen. Among the best known beaches are beach poppy tip and whales. The attractions of this region is constantly growing due to investment in tourist buildings like hotels, clubs, restaurants and shopping such places as Port Plaza las Terrenas, with a similar architecture of a boat. In the evenings entertainment centers are crowded by hundreds of tourists and like their restaurants with a wonderful view of the beach...
Wiki writes about Samana, Samaná (Spanish pronunciation: [samaˈna]) is a province of the Dominican Republic. Its capital is Santa Bárbara de Samaná, usually known as Samaná. Samaná is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the northeastern part of the Dominican Republic. It is known for its mountains of which it is almost entirely formed. Samaná has numerous beaches, and with the 6 November 2006 opening of the new Samaná El Catey International Airport, it is bound to become one of major tourist destinations in the Dominican Republic...
Wiki writes about The Dominican Republic, The Dominican Republic (Listeni/dəˌmɪnɨkən rɨˈpʌblɪk/; Spanish: República Dominicana [reˈpuβlika ðominiˈkana]) is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western three-eighths of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two countries. Both by area and population, the Dominican Republic is the second-largest Caribbean nation (after Cuba), with 48,445 square kilometres (18,705 sq mi) and nearly 10 million people, one million of which live in the capital city, Santo Domingo..

Grupo National Pinar Del Rio with David Negro and Frank Oropeso on Bongo Solos. Such a pleasure to be invited to sit in with this group. Frank is an inspiration for me. I just love his energy and solo. The group has played together for 80 years now. That's more than Buena Vista played together.

This complex is more of a small village than a hotel since all facilities a traveler may desire are within range. To reach the capital´s cultural and historical sites, jump on the free transfer service, which commutes daily between here and Old Havana.

EXPLORING CUBA 1: HOLGUIN E SANTIAGO DE CUBA | IL MIGLIOR MODO DI AMBIENTARSI
Il nostro lungo mese di viaggio a Cuba inizia nell'estremo Oriente Cubano, nella piccola e, spesso ignorata, città di Holguin. In questo primo episodio viaggiamo anche verso la vivacissima città di Santiago, una città ricca di arte e di storia. Seguiteci che vi porteremo a scoprire in vari episodi questa meravigliosa isola!

Our month long backpacking adventure in Cuba started in the Cuban Far East, in the often ignored city of Holguin. We then went down south to the very lively city of Santiago, a colourful city rich in art and history. Follow us during the first stops around this wonderful island!
Why Cuba is home to a bounty of rare species
Replete with rare and endangered species, Cuba is a crown jewel of biodiversity in the Caribbean. Science correspondent Miles O'Brien reports on the ways scientists and conservationists are working to survey and protect the island’s rich, and sometimes unique, wildlife.
Cuba: Natural Paradise | Mangrove
We come to the mangrove kingdom, the place where other travelling seeds struck land. It is the end of the journey of our seed and the beginning of our journey around one of the least-known and most fascinating ecosystems in Cuba: the mangrove swamp.
Though it is a coastal ecosystem, the substratum of the mangroves has its origins in the interior of the island.
The dense jungles that cover the high regions of the interior retain the rain water. This water gradually filters through the lateric soil of the jungles and forms rivers that descend and grow until they reach the sea.
The water that fell in the highlands erodes the land surface, carrying minerals and organic matter in suspension, and when it reaches the coast, the contact with the salt of the sea water causes sedimentation of this silt rich in nutrients.
It is a strange, sinister world. The silt condenses forming a viscous mud, corrosively acid due to the lack of oxygen.
Strange forms emerge form the aquatic half-light.
There is little light, due to the suspended particles and a growing salinity which changes with the tides. But it is here, where conditions would appear to be precisely the opposite of those needed for life, that the different types of mangrove settle and grow.
To anchor themselves to this poisonous bed, the mangroves have developed special roots; a horizontal binding system which turns the mangrove swamp into an impenetrable labyrinth.
These extraordinary roots manage to extract the nutrients from the surface layer of the mud, while their intricate interweaving retains the silt coming from inland, preventing it from being carried out to sea with the tide. To achieve this miracle in a fatally toxic substratum, the aerial roots of the mangroves either have spongy tissue which absorbs oxygen from the air, or they generate roots which rise up from the bottom like snorkels till they emerge above the surface of the water.
The result is that any seed deposited in these noxious muds rapidly germinate, and the mangrove forest grows inexorably, progressively gaining ground on the sea.
At the surface, the mangrove swamp is a jungle of survivors. Few vegetable species can cope with the restrictions of this saline substratum lacking in oxygen, but those that can rapidly proliferate and provide shelter for a complex zoological community.
For the hutias the tops of the mangroves are an inexhaustible larder. In Cuba, there are ten different species, and one of them is this, the Desmarest hutia or Conga hutia, the largest of all.
Generally, the hutias are nocturnal, but here, in the mangrove swamps of the north of the island, they spend the daylight hours hidden among the mangroves, eating leaves, bark, fruits, and even the occasional small lizard.
Like all inhabitants of the mangrove forest, the hutias remain permanently on guard. No one is safe in this shadowy maze. Down in the water lurk terrible crocodiles, while among the branches and roots of the mangrove labyrinth there are boas that eat hutias. So, at the slightest movement they immediately go on the alert and flee in search of refuge.

CUBA'S TREASURE TROVE OF ART OPENS AGAIN
The re-opening of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana has given Cuba its most complete showcase of cultural exhibits.
The restoration of the three-building complex, which houses nearly 50 thousand works dating from ancient Egypt through to contemporary Cuba, cost an estimated 14.5 (m) million U-S dollars.
An international art collection, made up of American, European and Latin American art, hangs in the Asturian Centre.
Much of it came from private collections left behind by wealthy families who fled Cuba soon after the 1959 revolution.
Works that once belonged to members of former dictator Fulgencio Batista's government are also on show.
Moraima Clavijo, the museum's director, said contact remained with some of the surviving families.
The estimated total value of the collection has been put at 600 (m) million U-S dollars, and Cubans will pay just five US cents to see it.
This is the first time since the museum closed in 1996 for renovation that Cubans have had access to all the works on display.
The museum is also putting to use expertise it has acquired in art restoration and history as a result of showing works of art abroad while the museum itself was closed for renovation.
Interest from abroad in the works of art here has been intense.
The Cuban exile community has claimed that works of art were sold during Cuba's economic crisis in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The British have long sought to acquire half a painting by Antonio Canaletto, depicting Chelsea Hospital and the River Thames, and unite it with the other half currently in London.
In the past, reports say Britain has offered several million US dollars for the work, but Castro has declared this art is not for sale.
The museum has many surprises in its little known collection. It claims to be one of very few museums in Latin America with a permanent exhibition of 18th and 19th century art from the United States - Cuba's traditional adversary.
And as Cuba continues to develop tourism - its largest foreign currency industry - in order to survive, the museum represents a significant new attraction.
Visitors to Havana now have access to a unique collection of international renown.
