San Cristóbal
-
Birthplace of the dictator Trujillo (see Trujillo (1891–1961)), this busy provincial center received a great deal of public money during his 30-year regime. It resulted in the construction of an impressive cathedral and surrounding public buildings as well as two nearby residences for Trujillo. The cathedral is certainly worth a visit in order to view the dictator’s ornate tomb, which was never used. More interesting are the caves at El Pomier (see El Pomier Caves) and the beaches at Palenque and Najayo, to the south of San Cristóbal.
