Here you enter El Memiso, a little village in the mountains north of Las Charcas. Close by the village one of the battles of the historical independence struggle took place. It was the beginning of the independence of the Dominican Republic. (2005)

The main road through El Memiso. (2005)

The school. Very important as a building to hide for the hurricanes too! (2005)

On the way to San José de Ocoa. Just outside El Memiso the first obstacle. How will we cross the Banilejo river? The driver of the local bus (guagua) drove my car to the other side because I didn't dare to do so. (2005)

The passage of the rill El Pinar. At this location, so they say, the historical battle took place. (2005)
