Shopping

A fine selection of Dominican arts and crafts, often hand-painted on-site, can be found in numerous little shops throughout the island. Handcrafted treasures are often one of a kind and make unique souvenirs. A warning before you begin: if you find something you love, buy it at the moment. Don't make the mistake of thinking you'll come back. Crafts people rarely make the same thing the same way twice.
