 little bug stuck in amber by willy_wonka
amber is beautiful, with a golden honey colored hue. pieces vary from a tiny bit of the rock for around US$10 to big chunks of it, some of which have old fossils stuck in it. think jurassic park or something! these pieces are alot more pricey.
larimar is amazing. this rock can only be found in the dominican republic, nowhere else in the world can you find it! it has a beautiful sky blue color to it. there were so many beautiful rings and necklaces made of larimar, but they were very pricey. its a matter of if you really want it or not, and sadly this time, i had to pass up!

 el conde by willy_wonka
on the el conde you will mainly come across stores selling fashion, cd's, souvenirs, and more fashion (some of it somewhat tragic!) for the locals it is THE main drag, the place to be seen, to hang around, i suppose the DR version to the american mall. it is also here that homesick tourists can grab a piece of KFC chicken, or a pizza from Pizza Hut. (which i gladly did not take part in!)
for those in the market for jewellery, there are also numerous places along el conde selling amber and larimar pieces. Leave a Comment Theme: Women's Clothes

The biggest department store in Santo Domingo. We entered there as I wanted to buy a couple of disposable cameras (my camera stopped working on my second day in SD... why they never break down when you're at your home place??? :) What was supposed to be a 10-minutes shopping, ended as kind of funny tour around the place for a couple of hours! Everything was so different as what we are used to find at our hometown supermarkets. We bought here most of our small gifts for friends and family (we really liked the idea of bringing them some "real" stuff more than obvious souvenirs).
For us, straight haired Europeans, the amount and variety of product for uncurl and treat hair was just amazing! The food halls, with loads of nice-smelling spices and fruits, were quite interesting as well. Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreAddress: There are a few, we went to the one in Av.

 Santeria's items by Belsaita
The owner patiently explained us what all these strange things were for. Interestingly, the most accessible items were the less "dangerous" things he did not mind to sell to anyone who wanted them, even if the purchase was just for fun/curiosity. He even said us that some of the items were just for fun, some without any real "power". You can find there sprays to get your car or house free of bad spirits. Soap or perfume to attract your love, to ear more money... or any purpose you can imagine.
However, things that were not convenient to be handled by inexpert hands were kept in closed cabinets. Quite mysterious.
.
We left the place with a few small bottles of "love perfume" to bring as gift to our friends.... I would had buy the "bad-spirits cleaner for cars" if they had it in a smaller size! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Near Mercado Modelo

Here you can find beautiful jewels made of amber or larimar. The amber of the Dominican Republic is considered the finest amber in the world. The larimar is a semiprecious stone you can find only in the Dominican Republic. I would like...for lack of funds I bought a picture.
Bargain over the price. Always. Leave a Comment Theme: JewelryAddress: Calle el Conde near Parque Colòn

This "Pedestrian Only" shopping street is both the center of tourist goods and western designer clothes. It runs from Parque Colon to Parque Independencia. The street name honors the Count of Penalba, who defeated the English during the 17th century. Leave a Comment

We saw so many shops and street vendors, with huge amounts of spices.... Nice to see and to smell. No idea about the use of 90% of these products indeed! Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Area of Av. Duarte, Av. Mella, near Mercado Modelo
