Plaza España is a major stop on any tourist itinerary. Find out about its historical background and importance or just chill out and watch life go by.

Often it's the places that don't cost a dime that are where we create the best travel memories. And you're likely to make a few at this free public square in Ciudad Colonial. When you've seen all you want to at Plaza España, swing by Parque Colon, Cathedral of Santo Domingo and Quisqueya Stadium.

All amenities were removed from resort and beach area became public with locals using parasols. No bars at beach area and no animations. Would only go back if resort becomes all inclusive.
