Tips for traveling to Punta Cana

Punta Cana It is one of the destinations preferred by millions of tourists around the world, since there you seem to find yourself in paradise with its spectacular and infinite white sand beaches and turquoise sea. In addition, it is reputed that its people are very friendly and will try to help you whenever they can. If you are already preparing your summer holidays or you are going to take a short break, keep in mind these tips for traveling to Punta Cana since there are some that are very important:

- The official currency is dominican peso, but if you carry euros or dollars you will have no problem since they can also be used, although it is clear that everything will always be more expensive. If you can, bring the local currency.

- It is recommended that you bring some medication since it is not easy to buy them there and you never know, although you do not need to take a medicine cabinet either, it will be enough with some aspirins, an antipyretic, paracetamol, a stomach protector (important as you are not used to the food of that country) and anything else you usually need from time to time.

- It is also highly recommended that you take the sunscreen and a cap so that your head and skin are protected at all times. The sun is very strong there and even if it looks like it is cloudy it will be hitting you full and you can get burned.

- For cameras, mobile phones and any other electronic device, in the Dominican Republic plugs are 110 volts, just half that in Spain. Ideally, you should take a voltage transformer, although you can also buy it there. If you do not want to buy it, you can use the devices the same, but being of a higher voltage they will take much longer to charge.

– Plugs are not like in Spain, used by Americans, who are the ones with flat pins. For around € 3 you can get them there if you don't want to take them from here.

- To call Spain by phone it is best to buy a card and call from a phone booth, with about € 10 you can talk for 10 minutes. Do not call from the hotel that is much more expensive.

- By last, don't drink water that is not bottled. The food if you can take of all kinds, there is also a lot of variety. The richest are fish and shellfish.
