Puerto Plata Dominican Republic

Hello Travelers!!

Firstly, September has started with really high temperatures, which invites you to take a refreshing splash in the pool and the beach.

Secondly, i was sitting under a shade umbrella at Sosua Beach and received several WhatsApp messages with a video Clip. It was the new Juan Luis Guerra’s LAMPARA PA MIS PIES video clip that is becoming viral! before continuing, remember to go through our previous post about the street murals of Puerto Plata.

His wife inspired this romantic song, and it declares that she is the light of his life, and she provides light wherever he walks. Therefore she is LAMPARA PA MIS PIES (Lamp to my feet). The music, lyrics, and rhythm are as touching as all Juan Luis’ creations, full of joy and color!

But what gave me the goosebumps, and covered me with pride was to discover the fantastic sightseeing tour that Juan Luis Guerra is hosting from Puerto Plata Dominican Republic in his clip!

Turn up the volume, and follow Juan Luis Guerra to discover the amazing Puerto Plata!

What about having pictures or sharing videos dancing his new merengue in those same locations?

Puerto Plata Dominican Republic – Parque Central

The video starts with an aerial shot of the Parque Central of Puerto Plata and its Glorieta. It is showing the splendor and colorful townhouses of the Colonial Area of Puerto Plata.

I dare you to take a beautiful picture showing Glorieta, Church, and park altogether. What do you think?

Puerto Plata Dominican Republic – Catedral San Felipe Apóstol

Also, the aerial shoot is showing our most significant church in town: San Felipe Cathedral, modern victorian style architecture.

Bergantin

Many of the video clips’ dancing shots are in front of Bergantin Restaurant (a great place to eat seafood in town) showing the splendor of modern victorian style home. Come on in, and let me know about your favorite drink!

Casita Azul

Also, Casita Azul. Another fantastic restaurant located in front of Parque Central. It is also one of the protagonist’s buildings to show our Victorian architecture. You can read more about these architectural styles in my previous blog of Victorian buildings in Puerto Plata). Get in and let me know which one is your favorite dish!]

Long Beach Area And Street Murals

Long Beach was one of the essential public beaches in the 1900s. This place had the first beachfront hotel that existed in Puerto Plata. However, some of its walls behold the most prominent Street mural displays in town (you can read more about Street mural in Puerto Plata in one of my previous blogs). I dare you to take a picture of you in front of your favorite one!!

Malecon

The truck carrying Juan Luis around, mostly ride on our most crucial avenue: THE MALECON. It is our longest and prettiest oceanfront drive with many restaurants, bars, beach area, and the preferred outdoors scenario for the exercise lovers! Who fancies making a carpooling video singing LAMPARA PA MIS PIES while driving on the MALECON?

Puerto Plata Dominican Republic – Teleférico

Juan Luis and his musicians also visit our most emblematic place: the Teleférico. The cable car in which you ride up to the Isabel de Torres Mountain to discover the beauty of our flora and fauna along with breathtaking views of Puerto Plata City. Great pictures hanging from the cable car or holding Jesus Redentor is mandatory in our social media.

Estación De Bomberos

Our firefighter’s building station located at the Malecon also is one of the primary locations where this video was shooted. Anyone fancy following the girl’s choreography while dancing just in front of that same spot?

La Puntilla

Another great place. One of the preferred outdoor entertaining places by locals, where we can always have some “Aire Acondicioplado” (Blown AirCon). It also beholds the first Colonial Fort built in Christopher Colombus’ times and a fantastic view of the nautical Port.

Puerto Plata Dominican Republic – Anfiteatro

Now I can say that Juan Luis Guerra played at our ANFITEATRO! The amphitheater was one of the chosen locations for his clip. Not only a huge symbolic place for music but also shows part of our ocean view and refreshing wind that accompanies all of our concerts there. It has an excellent acoustic and is a magical place to receive Juan Luis Guerra.

La puntilla is another MUST place to visit in Puerto Plata. Check my events list below to see if you can join any concert while visiting town!

So, how was your city tour? Please leave your comments and share it with your friends! I am just heading to the MALECON to drink some Coconut water while enjoying LAMPARA PA MIS PIES!
