Besides baseball, basketball is also played at a professional level in the city of Santiago. The institution in charge of organizing these events is the Asociación de Baloncesto de Santiago de los Caballeros. Aguilas Cibaeñas Crowned champions Águilas Cibaeñas is a team in the Dominican Republic's winter baseball league. Founded in 1936, and based in Santiago, the Águilas is the second most winning team in history, behind its rivals Tigres del Licey, having won nine of the last 13 titles (the other four were won by Tigres del Licey). They have also 5 Caribbean Series. In all, they have 20 national titles, one more than Tigres del Licey since 1951, when the Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM)began its operations.

This solid white marble structure is 67 meters tall and has small museums in its interior. Santiago de los Caballeros, with its quaint Neoclassic and Victorian buildings, is the second most populous city in the Dominican Republic. Frequently in the past, its residents vied with Santo Domingo’s to dominate the country politically. It was here that many of the wars of Independence were fought against Haiti, and most of the battles in the War of the Restoration from Spain—the city’s central Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration pays tribute to all the region’s patriots who lost their lives in the name of freedom.

yumnuk3 Location: United States Join date: June 2008 Member #: 926 Posts: 1920	RE: Central & North Coast Dominican Republic Santiago de Los Caballeros The north coast of the Dominican Republic is unfortunately little known and sometimes forsaken compared to the great tourist centers of the east and the south like Punta Cana or Boca Chica, however this does not mean that the north coast isn't as beautiful as the rest, the north coast has a diversity of landscapes from the west to the east you can find deserts and cactus next to Punta Rusia, or the greenest landscapes with Coconut Palms next to las Terrenas and Samana. The north coast also has its capital, Santiago, which is in reality the economic capital of the country. To quote some cities Puerto Plata, Sosua, Cabarete, Río San Juan. All of these cities which are next to the Atlantic Ocean have their own special characteristics. Edited on 10/2/2009 7:38 AM by yumnuk3.
