Marc Lacy convinces readers that Santo Domingo is the perfect Caribbean city to visit for a history lesson and an experience of the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus.
The article talks about El Conde, located in Calle El Conde at Arzobispo Merino, and how nearby there is a statue honoring the explorer where one can retrace his steps and find solace in a chaotic city. Also a museum near by called the Museo Alcazar de Diego Colon, which used to be the residence of Christopher Columbus’s son Diego.
I think this is an interesting article, because my grandmother lives at walking distance from El Conde. I would go shopping every weekend during the summers I’ve visit.
This is a soft news article. The lede is a paragraph long. It gives a lot of information about Santo Domingo and the art, which gives a recap of the history of Christopher Columbus. There are no quotes so there is no type of narrative. The article just gives depth information for travelers who are interested. It ended with a suggestion of a great hotel for tourists to enjoy.
