Santo Domingo.- The Spanish ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Antonio Pérez-Hernández y Torra, announced the development of a virtual guide for the Colonial City to promote Dominican tourism. This guide will feature historical and thematic routes aimed at showcasing the first city of the Americas as a key tourist destination.
The ambassador revealed this project during the launch of the book “Santo Domingo entre paredes, memoria de una ciudad singular,” supported by Banco de Reservas, the National District City Council, and the Spanish Embassy.
