I'm sorry, I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but by who's standards are ppl from Puerto Plata and the North Coast not Cibaeños? Is my family from Cabrera which is a coastal beach town in the Northeast not Cibaeño because they don't come from a place that would be considered "tierra adentro"?



The Cibao is a region...and that region doesn't include coasts...culturally though, the people of the north coast have been traditionally very close in temperment and other attributes to the cibaeños in the interior...and you can never start a fight with me!

Again, my question: Says who? What it is it that these ppl from the coastal regions that are part of El Cibao do so differently that it "disqualifies" them from being a Cibaeño? I would have to see a map that shows otherwise or hear ppl from Puerto Plata, Montecristi, Cabrera that dont have the customs or don't talk con la "i" in order to believe this. The only exception in this case would be Samana in which it is obvious that they are not Cibaeños.

You're absolutely correct: There is no definitive textbook answer as to who is a cibaeño...I'm just passing on what my understanding of what a cibaeño is. But the Cibao in itself is the name of a geographical area, a valley in the northeastern interior of the island of Hispaniola. I always thought that cibaeños were people that came from cummunities located in said valley.

Before we used to consider Puerto Plata cibaeños too and they consider themselves cibaenños. What divide Santiago and Puerto Plata is the tunnel by altamira.

PS I know many Montecristeños and I've never heard of them identifying with the cibao...if anything some of my freinds from Montecristi actually make fun of cibaeños! (in a light-hearted way of course). They consider themselves Linieros, or from La Linea.

Cibaeno75, you do know that this thread awas started by a TROLL (Chilindrina) and whenever they ban him/her/it, your posts will be gone also, right?.

I am telling you this because I think it's wiser if you start a thread about the topic you are talking about........which it seems interesting.

To me el cibao are the mountain areas closest to Santiago... Montecristi is not, that is like a border town... I have never heard of someone from Puerto Plata or Cabrera say that he/she was from el cibao
