If you’re after a day-trip destination, we know just the place. Located 19 miles away, Santiago de los Caballeros is worth the drive. Explore the area starting with Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration, Hermanos Patino Bridge and Centro Leon. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Sosua, 25 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Sosua Beach. (But we’re also huge fans of Playa Alicia and Encuentro Beach.)
