 Shopping

The island is the world's leading cigar exporter and has a national cigar institute. The innumerable varieties of hand-made cigars are very tempting. Dominican rum, of which 90 % is consumed in the country both by locals and tourists, is delicious and quite affordable. $$ Take home a recording of merengue, impossible to find in the UK. $$ As for jewels, amber, larimar (turquoise) and black coral are the local stones. Whatever you are purchasing, haggle, it is local custom! Shops are open from 9 am to 5 pm on week days and on Saturdays. In Santo Domingo, La Serena, a popular department store, offers all sorts of items at unbeatable prices.
