SummaryResumen
A travel narrative follows the old Camino Real, the royal road running 150 miles north from Santo Domingo City to Cotui, La Vega and Moca, describing the ancient Spanish roads as broad paths cut a hundred feet wide through the forest, with no ditching, drainage, macadam or bridges, and the Isabella River crossed in native dugout canoes while the horses swim. It describes the savanna country of red clay loam and an inland town, Savanna Grande, as a row of one-story palm-wood huts thatched with palm leaves around a green central square, and the travelers' night stop at the home of Don Emiliano Tejera, a wealthy power in Dominican politics housed in thatched native houses with dirt floors.
Una crónica de viaje sigue el viejo Camino Real, la vía real que corre 150 millas al norte desde la ciudad de Santo Domingo hasta Cotuí, La Vega y Moca, describiendo los antiguos caminos españoles como senderos anchos abiertos de cien pies a través del bosque, sin zanjas, drenaje, macadán ni puentes, y el río Isabela cruzado en canoas nativas de un solo tronco mientras los caballos nadan. Describe la región de sabana de arcilla roja y un pueblo del interior, Sabana Grande, como una fila de chozas de un piso de madera de palma techadas con hojas de palma alrededor de una plaza central verde, y la parada nocturna de los viajeros en la casa de don Emiliano Tejera, un hombre rico y poderoso en la política dominicana alojado en casas nativas de techo de palma y piso de tierra.

most uninhabited country, and here you
find a town built on the same plan as
Savanna Grande. It is larger', tho, more
substantial, has many stores, and a
more important church. Not far beyond
Cotui you lop the range, and get your
first glimpse into the fertile lands of
the '*Cabao,'' the most fertile on earth.
As you ride into La Vega, you are in
the vegal Eeal, the royal meadow, of
Columbus. High in the island on the
northern limit of this grand valley is a
little hill reverently named by him
Sancta Serro, the holy hill. Standing
on its crest he looked thirty miles east
ward over a scene that makes one *s
eyes misty with admiration and in
spiration to this day. From the grandly
beautiful blue mountains on the left
a score of ||iles it stretches to the blue
and beautiml mountains on "the right,
while eastward, far as the eye can see,
it lies, piefaresque with palm -trees,
dense with tropical growth and filling
with spicy odors the air that quivers
