On a study abroad program in Santo Domingo, you’ll be located in the heart of the city’s historic center, which is so full of beautiful medieval and renaissance buildings that it has UNESCO world heritage site status. If you’re like Latin American food, you’ll find lots of familiar dishes, plus some tasty new ones! Look out for a dish called la bandera (the flag) which consists of white rice, beans, meat and green plantain fritters.
