Sosua |
Overview: To the east of Puerto Plata is the holiday destination of Sosua,
a small village with a cosmopolitan character, which offers a
superb crescent-shaped beach and numerous cafes, bars and
restaurants. The town was developed by a group of approximately 600
Jewish refugees from Europe who settled here in 1940 and founded
the now-thriving dairy industry for which the village is noted. The
original synagogue built by this expatriate community is still
standing and features a museum dedicated to the history of the
community. Near to Sosua is a major family holiday attraction, the
Columbus Aquapark, offering plenty of watery diversions.
