The Central Highlands : Las Matas de Farfán

No one has rated this yet.

Rate it

The archetypal Dominican market town, Las Matas (literally roots) is supposed to be named after the tree under which the 18th-century merchant Farfán used to enjoy a siesta. It’s still a sleepy sort of place, except on Saturdays when the market brings crowds of campesinos into town for some bartering and gossip. There are few tourist sights as such, but Las Matas, as well as the surrounding countryside, gives a taste of small-town rural life.
