Send Flowers to Azua, Dominican Republic

Azua de Compostela is one of the oldest towns in the Dominican Republic and one of the hottest. It lies on a dry plain in the south, between the mountains and Ocoa Bay, where irrigation has turned semi-desert into fields of tomatoes, bananas and melons. The battle fought here on a March 19 during the independence war is remembered every year and remains a point of local pride.

Most orders to Azua come from relatives abroad, especially in the United States and Spain, and go to family houses in the town centre and the surrounding barrios, or to the farming communities along the highways toward Barahona and San Juan. Because of the heat, a morning delivery is kinder to the flowers: mention it in the instructions. To send flowers to Azua the same day, order before 11:00 am local time, Monday to Saturday. Later orders, and those for rural districts some distance from town, are delivered the next day. Chrysanthemums, carnations and lilies cope well with the climate.
