Cabrera, the Dominican Republic secret
Sanschagrin, Dali. 1997.
Magazine Elle Québec . janvier. p. 106-107.
The region of Cabrera
and it's sweet hostal "La Catalina" is for those
who wish to take real vacation, not the kind that sees you
back on your knees, exausted, with an overdose of rumba.

Here,
up in the mountains, the view over the Atlantic ocean is be
wildering. The 10 years that have passed since the opening
of La Catalina prove that Claude and Marie-France have done
well in following their instinct. Little by little, with the
secret passed on, from one to the other, La Catalina has seduced
its visitors.
Each year, they come to taste
the breeze of the mountain, the scampies and the home made
sorbets, but mostly they come for the beauty still wild and
well preserved of the country side and the beaches close by.

They come for the calmness
of the place, away from the tequilla-macarena tourism.
Although respect of each other's
peace is the rule around the two pools and the twenty rooms
and condos of La Catalina, it is still possible to do a
little " fiesta"...There is three discotheque
in the nearby village of Cabrera. And what pleasure to come
back to the quietness of La Catalina after a well danced
evening!
