Holidays in Sosua, located on the Amber Coast of the Dominican Republic, are fantastic for holidaymakers who prefer a more cultural experience when jetting to the Caribbean. Sosua boasts a more Latin American ambiance, with many traditions still in evidence here, which can make a nice change from large hotels and busy tourist areas. Dating back to World War Two, Sosua has a very interesting background. It became the adopted home of a group of German-Jewish refugees that managed to flee their country and settle here during the conflict. They gradually opened up a dairy community and made a massive success of it. It is still very much in evidence here and blends in nicely with the distinct local flavour.
