San Juan de la Maguana
-
A surprisingly large town lying in a fertile valley to the south of the Cordillera Central, San Juan is a busy agricultural center, surrounded by banana plantations and coffee farms. Its proximity to the Haitian border has brought problems over the centuries as invading armies occupied and destroyed the town. Today’s architecture is modern, but there are also some turn-of-the-19th-century buildings around the Parque Central, where a permanent buzz of outdoor buying and selling makes for an interesting walk.
