4k Walking Tour - Santo Domingo Dominican Republic La Duarte & Encajes Rosario Craft Store quickie9

Let's take a walk on La Duarte in Santo Domingo!

Located just north of Chinatown, La Duarte or Duarte Avenue is named after perhaps the most famous/important figure in the struggle for Dominican Independence - Juan Pablo Duarte, a member of the Trinitarios. There are many storefronts run or owned by local (and Chinese) vendors as well as a plethora of little shops and stalls. These shops and stalls sell basically everything you could imagine at low prices. The area is well known for resale - lots of people buy things in bulk from "La Duarte" and then open little shops and stalls in their own neighborhoods within Santo Domingo or even in other cities/campos (countryside villages/towns).

In this video we start out in the Mercado de Las Flores, take a quick walk up Avenida Duarte and then explore the very popular Encajes Rosario. This Craft store has been around for about 50 years and is an excellent place to buy cloth, thread, buttons, glue, and other craft good as well as a plethora of household goods such as pots, pans, cosmetics, etc. This store is *always* busy, and even more so on Fridays and Saturdays. It's a great location to meet people who are artsy, introverted or otherwise are homebodies and the immediate area is also abuzz with activity.
