Send Flowers to Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic

Santiago de los Caballeros is the country's second city and the heart of the Cibao, the fertile valley that grows most of the tobacco of the Dominican Republic and has sent a good share of its people overseas. Almost every family here has someone in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts or Spain, which is why birthdays, Mother's Day and anniversaries bring a steady flow of orders from abroad.

The white Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración stands on its hill above the centre and serves as the reference point for half the directions people give. Florists deliver to the residential streets of Los Jardines Metropolitanos, Villa Olga, La Trinitaria and Cerros de Gurabo, to the older houses around Calle del Sol, and to companies in the industrial free zones on the edge of town. Bouquets also go to students at the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra and to patients in the city's clinics, where the room number and the patient's full name are essential.

Flower delivery in Santiago is same-day when the order arrives before 11:00 am local time from Monday to Saturday, and next-day after that. Santiagueros are proud hosts and tend to like generous, colourful arrangements: roses, lilies and tropical foliage. There is no Sunday service, so plan weekend surprises for Saturday.
