Columbus discovered the island of Hispaniola (which he called La Espaniola) in 1492 and established it as his main base for the further exploration of the region. Today, the Dominican Republic shares the island with Haiti, a former French colony. Most tourists who come to the island are initially attracted by the magnificent golden sand beaches along its 1,400km (870-mile) coastline. The island's northern, Atlantic side contains the majority of tourist attractions, hotels and resorts, particularly in the 64km (40-mile) zone between Puerto Plata and Cabarete.

The Dominican Republic occupies the Eastern two-thirds of the island Hispaniola and is situated between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, bordering east Haiti. The capital Santo Domingo is the New World's oldest capital and contains many colonial buildings which have been carefully restored to retain their original charm. There are many fine examples of 16th century Spanish architecture and many fascinating structures that have survived for over 500 years.
