One of the best places to experience
Dominican baseball is at the home field of two of the DR's six professional teams,
Licey
shortly before the first inning; games between the hometown rivals or Licey and Aguilas
sell out more quickly. Asking for the best seats available at the box office is likely to cost
RD$1000 and put you within meters of the ballplayers and the between-innings dancers.
Scalpers also congregate along the road to the stadium and at the entrance. A taxi back
to the Zona Colonial should run around RD$170. The stadium has been the site of big-
name concerts like Justin Bieber in 2013.
Cinemas
There are no cinemas in the Zona Colonial. Centro Cultural Español periodically show-
cases alternative films, mostly by Spanish and Dominican filmmakers. The theater is actu-
ally a gallery with a big white wall where DVDs are projected. Stop by for a current
