Detailed Maps!!!

**Beads** · 10-22-2005, 12:36 PM

How about someone who is in the DR or going soon get us some DETAILED street level maps and have everyone tag the important locations on them so everyone knows how to get to all the important places in Sosua/ Puerta Plata etc? It would be invaluable to people who have never been to these places or some who are still new and don't know their way around these towns so well. Maybe we could eventually have the entire country mapped out to street level with every major business or place of interest pinpointed to make life easier on all!

there are a number of good maps od Sosua around. on here and other north coast yahoo clubs

The ones I have seen arent very detailed. They show a few small roads and the palace and a few discos and a bank and casino.None of the other main places are listed and no major roadway names. We need a real map!

There are very few street signs on the north coast, how would major roadway names help?

When in Sosua, just follow your "nose".

Sosua Palace (John's Place) has a map of Sosua on his website. I used the map the first day of my trip. After that Sosua is so small you don't need a map. Kind of hard to get lost is Sosua. You are either heading towards the beach or Europa. The other direction is either towards the tourist hotels or main highway.

nvr,

I hear you....I'm a "map guy" myself. But trust me, you really don't need one for Sosua. All you need to do is walk around a little with your eyes open.

Old places close and new places open all the time. Just explore...and ask fellow mongers. Here on the board or in person when in town. Guys are usually eager to help out.

The main drag is Pedro Clisante.
The main Intersection is Calle Dr Rosen.

Here is a rough map showing some of the spots talked about on the board.
NOTE: Note to scale. The distance from El Toro Steakhouse to the beach is about 1.5 miles. The distance from the Europa to the beacjh is about 1/2 mile.
Explore and enjoy yourself!

beach
(Shark Bar,etc.)

i think your map is upsidedown

rocky's is north
the beach/clasico is more or less west and
bernies east

ops:

**ErikS** · 10-22-2005, 09:23 PM

That didn't come out right.
the cross-street "Dr Rosen" should be between VIP/NV. Rockys is on Dr Rosen.

the street to the beach (Shark Bar) etc. should be all the way to the right (at the top)
M&M Massage & Baileys should also be all the way to the right, but on the bottom!

I should just sketch a map by hand and scan it!
