What to do in Punta Cana
If there’s one universal in the Dominican Republic, it’s that Dominicans love to party, in a get-dressed-up-to-dance-bachata, call-domino-at-the-car-wash sort of way. In every town there’s a local hot spot, whether it’s a grocery store pumping sizzling Latin beats through al fresco speakers, or a “car wash” rocking some variation of a bar, a stage, and an outdoor sound system. In the Punta Cana and Bavaro beach areas, visitors looking for genuine DR experiences will find them in short supply, but hitting a car wash like the one near Bavaro’s Gran Plaza Friusa is a fast way to make friends. It’s akin to people-watching in the piazzas of Italy, a place to see locals dressed to the nines, sip the local beer (Presidente grande, por favor ), and get a feel for the rhythms that penetrate deep into the heart of Dominican culture.
