Little Gables Homes For Sale: Community Guide

Credit: Image by Beautriz Goudie | Source

How Little Gables Homes For Sale Started

Disputes can sometimes bring about beautiful things. That’s the story of Little Gables homes for sale and how the community started. The area is considered an unincorporated Miami-Dade County community. It sprung from a dispute over orange groves around the 1920s. Despite founder George Merrick's vision for incorporation into Coral Gables, John Stadler's groves have remained untouched.

Moving forward to today, Little Gables lays claim to over 700 homes. These modest New England-style homes distinctly feature wooden frames and lush greenery. All of these are along the bustling LeJeune Road. But what makes the neighborhood a prime candidate for homebuyers? Let’s explore a few of the reasons.

Greenery

We are in an age when it is abundantly clear the amount of harm we have already caused to nature, including the oxygen that we inhale and the water we swallow. This is especially true in tourist-friendly destinations such as Florida. Thankfully, more individuals are becoming mindful of the pressing need for safeguarding and improving the environment. They begin seeking green places to live, work, and raise their family.

Luckily, Little Gables has taken steps to keep the community green. The neighborhood received a County grant in 2001 and 2002 for a street tree planting initiative. The first grant contributed to the planting of 50 shade trees. The support came through a non-profit organization named TREEmendous Miami. The second grant brought about 50 more shade trees through the Shade For Dade program. As a cherry on top, these projects united the residents to give them a sense of representation and responsibility to show up for their place of residence

HOA

Beautiful neighborhoods usually come at a premium. But that’s not the case in Little Gables. Residents in the area have access to several amenities without breaking the bank. Little Gables Neighborhood Association charges a $25 yearly membership charge per home to assist in covering its costs for all its responsibilities. These duties include the following:

Costs for mailing and production of newsletters and other correspondence.

Legal fees for fighting commercial takeover.

Neighborhood improvement projects (beautification and construction).

Hosting the Little Gables Neighborhood Association website.

Planning and organizing social events.

Community management at that price is surely a perk in any economy. Funding you save from inexpensive HOA fees can be directed to house renovations or toward home security.

Neighborhood Safety

Miami-Dade County provides Little Gables with police and fire services to complement any technology installed to protect your property. On weekdays, Little Gables is patrolled by one community-oriented police officer (COP). Following that, the community shares a single COP with Schenley Park. The police and fire stations that serve the neighborhood can be found in Doral.

Residents can also participate in a citizen crime watch program in their blocs. Volunteers get training and meet up with the Miami-Dade Police Department's Midwest District and Neighborhood Resources Officers. If you’re interested, the local initiative also does occasional outreach programs to educate homeowners about how to keep their property free from crime.

Convenient Location

Moving around is another benefit of buying Little Gables homes for sale. Traveling for work or pleasure will be a breeze because of the proximity to town, which allows for quick and efficient entry and exit. The Miami International Airport is about 2.6 miles away for some international and domestic flights. But if you want to enjoy the local scene, the community is surrounded by vibrant activities and venues.

The neighborhood is just three minutes from Miracle Mile. It’s a strip of restaurants offering mouth-watering international dishes. This foodie hotspot is home to unique culinary treasures that even tourists come back for more when they’re in the area.

If you like geeking about culture though, the downtown area is littered with theaters, art spaces, and performance venues.

The most important factor in the location of Little Gables is its proximity to top-notch medical care facilities and educational institutions. Schools around the area include Coral Gables Preparatory Academy, Ponce De Leon Middle School, and Coral Gables Senior High School.

Annexation

Establishments and sites have given Little Gables its unique character, compared to nearby neighborhoods. However, annexation has been a long-running discussion within the community with officials who wish to bring further progress to the community. It isn’t smooth sailing, with talks coming to a halt several times for various reasons, but each year brings everyone much closer to a resolution.

What is Annexation?

Annexation is a way of incorporating land into the city borders. It is just one of the key ways in which cities flourish. Cities acquire territories to offer local facilities to developing regions and to exercise the governing power required to preserve the safety and health of the public.

State of Annexation

The decision to bring Little Gables into Coral Gables has caused a lot of disagreement. Recently, the city leaders said they might let the people decide by voting. This comes after talks about joining the two places that have been going on since 2017 but haven't gone anywhere. Only a few people in Little Gables agreed with the idea. So, everyone’s waiting to see if it will be officially approved.

Mayor Vince Lago and Vice Mayor Anderson, who serve the community at the time of writing, say it could bring money and make homes more valuable. However, others worry about how much it will cost to make changes. The city leaders are talking about letting everyone vote on it. The mayor thinks they should decide, but some people think he just doesn't want the public to say no.

If we go back to the rocky beginnings of the area, we can conclude that the locals’ love for this charming community will always override any decision. The support to make the neighborhood better has always been present for Little Gables. This is merely a speedbump before the community throttles and moves toward improvement.

Conclusion

The history of Little Gables reflects a journey marked by resilience and community spirit. From its origins in a dispute over orange groves to its emergence as a vibrant enclave, it embodies a unique blend of history and modernity. Its convenient location near amenities, entertainment venues, and top-notch educational institutions further enhances its appeal. Whether seeking a green oasis or a bustling urban hub, Little Gables stands as a prime destination for homebuyers seeking the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience.

Luxury home sales plunge, Miami and Hamptons hit hardest

Homes at Rivo Alto Island in Miami Beach, Florida, US, on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023. Eva Marie Uzcategui | Bloomberg | Getty Images The U.S. housing market is taking a hard hit from higher mortgage rates, and luxury home sales are seeing the worst of it. Sales of luxury homes dropped 45% during the three months ended Jan. 31 compared with the same period the year before, according to Redfin, a…

[m4ndysk4nkovich]

Omg your headcanons are adorable 🥺🥺 do you have more Gallagher ones?

DO I HAVE MORE GALLAGHER ONES??

yes. yes i do.

also thank you!

so idk if you mean pre-canon or like post-canon or whatever so i’m just doing in general (mostly pre-canon though because it’s what i do best)

monica delivered debbie on the same table that debbie delivered franny on.

mickey got his iconic knuckle tattoos in his cousin’s basement when he was twelve and the tattoos got infected as fuck. he almost cried when he got them done but couldn’t because terry was watching him get it done. (ik you said gallagher and i was going to delete this one but mickey’s a gallagher at this point)

ian was very active as a child and has broken an almost concerning amount of bones. he broke his first bone at two while at daycare and from then on it wasn’t an uncommon thing for ian to get hurt.

ian’s the reason everyone calls lip ‘lip’. up until ian could talk, he was just phillip, but when ian began talking, he couldn’t pronounce phillip and insisted on lip. eventually there was a double meaning for it, that he would never shut his lips or some shit, but really it was just because of ian’s refusal to say lip’s name.

when monica got pregnant and gave birth to ian, she knew he was clayton’s kid (which is why she named him ian clayton gallagher), but once he was fourteen or fifteen and found out that frank wasn’t his father, she had done so many drugs and fried so many brain cells that she forgot.

debbie has watched barbie five times since it came out. she’s obsessed.

fiona comes back to chicago for a little while because of frank’s death, but once she leaves, she unfortunately doesn’t visit again for a while. she calls a lot, but she hates being back in chicago and begs her siblings to come and see her in miami. there comes a point where she refuses to return all together and just doesn’t for a few years (they still go see her in miami, though) but she eventually gets over it and returns to chicago.

one day (in 2023), sheila calls fiona, having realized that she still has her number, and asks about her the kids, when fiona informs her about what has happened in the past eight years, she’s shocked, and a bit upset. when fiona informs her of frank’s death, she’s astonished that fucking covid killed him.

lip is entirely responsible for ian breaking his collarbone at tweleve. he most likely forced ian to do something stupid like climb a tree or some shit and ian fell and got injured and ian still covered for lip when fiona asked what the fuck happened.

monica would always somehow find a way to get them a christmas tree, despite the cost (she seduced the guy who owned the christmas tree farm… shhhh) and was the type of person to start celebrating christmas on november 1st and keep the tree up until march

there is a photo album with baby pictures of the gallagher’s and a few home videos. this information is shocking to tami, sandy, and mickey, but the gallagher’s aren’t too shocked by it. yeah, the videos and photos were a bit of a luxury for them but still. they didn’t have the money to get the camera, but monica had got the camera from a garage sale and would randomly record unimportant things.

one year for halloween, lip dressed up as iron man and ian dressed up as captain america.

carl and debbie tried to convince fiona to get a puppy several times, but each time they failed. fiona didn’t trust carl with any animal other than a fish or a turtle because she was convinced he would hurt or kill it. he probably would, but he was insulted by the accusation.

every gallagher sibling has called fiona ‘mom’ accidentally at one point

Palm Beach Island Takes Over as the Top Ultra-High-Net -Worth Property Market in the United States!

“Palm Beach is a niche market that consistently has the highest concentrations of appropriate properties and lifestyle for ultra-high-net-worth individuals,” says Eric Gunther President of Greenfield Waters Florida Realty on Worth Avenue Palm Beach.

Ultra-high-net-worth “UHNW”, is a level of ultra-luxury residential properties that trade for $50,000,000 or more. The market for these eight and nine-figure estates has significantly increased in the past ten years. 

New York, the Hamptons, Malibu, Los Angeles, Aspen, and Miami have all seen a sudden and profound transformation in the value of the most coveted properties. But nowhere in the U.S. compares to the small Island of Palm Beach which currently has 13 properties listed for sale asking over $50,000,000. This 16 mile long barrier island is a fraction of the size of its UHNW market peers, making the concentration of luxury real estate sales staggering over the comparatively small area. 

Over the last year of 2023, Florida’s two most expensive home sold on Palm Beach Island.  $170,000,000 was in first place at 589 North County Road Palm Beach, FL 33480 and $155,000,000 in second place at 1495 North Ocean Boulevard Palm Beach 33480 combined into a compound with 108 Mediterranean Road Palm Beach, FL 33480.

As the balance in middle market property prices and interest rates struggle to find common ground across the general U.S., solid activity in the Florida market and in the UHNW market of Palm Beach is understandable for emotional reasons but also backed by qualitative data. 

Buyers of properties in excess of several million dollars aren’t as affected by volatility in interest rates or the stock market like other buyers. Often paying in cash versus financing, these buyers see their real estate as tangible assets to be enjoyed but also bought, sold, and traded at the right times. 

Meanwhile, just across the Intracoastal waterway, select bordering neighborhoods of West Palm Beach are becoming “Palm Beach Island adjacent” with sales in excess of several million dollars being very normal.  Areas in West Palm such as Marina Park, El Cid, Howard Park, Phipps Park, and South of Southern (SOSO) are emerging in a very big way. As major financial firm and accompanying industries such as consulting, accounting, legal, and more keep moving to West Palm Beach, we expect these neighborhoods to continue growing in value and the beautification of Mediterranean revival and modern styled new construction homes. 

Palm Beach owners naturally enjoy the warm winters of our busiest season, when residents with multiple homes return for the climate. Many visitors come prepared to shop for real estate during this season making it ripe to sell for more. Spring and summer balance out the year as owners often list after enjoying a last winter season and demand to buy exits all year long in the Florida UHNW market. Typically, buyers even appreciate the downtime after buying so they can renovate and bring in the finest upgrades and décor of their personal choice which can take time after buying. 

This year more incredible properties are on the market and selling for more than anywhere else in the United States. Currently, the Island’s most expensive listing is 2.3 oceanfront vacant acres of land listed at $200,000,000 at 1063 and 1071 North Ocean Boulevard Palm Beach, FL 33480. They have 360 feet of width across the beachfront which is a rare luxury opportunity on The Island. These are owned by cosmetics heir William Lauder who listed the land on the market after buying the late Rush Limbaugh’s property. Both properties were torn down to achieve their amplified land value together. 

Traditionally, Palm Beach was perceived as a multigenerational closed circle. Today, this is no longer the case and sellers are aware of the vibrant new audience which needs to be reflected and focused on for marketing and advertising to sell a property of these price points in the economy of today. The Island does still maintain the exclusivity of high society, yet it's much more inclusive of people from a broader range of affluence, industries, and backgrounds which is very healthy.   

Here are five of our favorite finest properties on the market as of today on Palm Beach Island:

10 Tarpon Isle Palm Beach, FL 33480

Listed for $187,500,000

www.greenfieldwaters.com/search/details/1j5/0/

In 2021, Todd Glaser and his business partners made waves in the real estate world by acquiring the 2.3acre man-made Tarpon Island for a $85,000,000. After an extensive renovation, showcasing their commitment to luxury and opulence, they listed the island in 2022 for an eye-opening $218,000,000. Taking a strategic pause from the market which created incredible desire from real estate buyers, Glaser reentered the fray in November with an adjusted price. Originally designed by Howard Majors in 1930, the mansion underwent a dramatic transformation under Glaser's vision. Its footprint doubled to nearly 24,000 square feet, now boasting 11 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and 7 half-bathrooms. The property is a veritable oasis, featuring two pools, a dock, a lighted tennis court, a cold plunge, steam room, sauna, salon parlor, massage room, gym, and a catering kitchen. This embodiment of luxury living epitomizes the pinnacle of exclusivity and grandeur.

Listed for $59,950,000

www.greenfieldwaters.com/search/details/1j9/0/

The price reflecs its prime oceanfront location spanning 200 feet of beachfront. With its rich history and unparalleled coastal charm, this estate represents a rare opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a slice of coastal luxury intertwined with prestige and influence.

315 Chapel Hill Road Palm Beach, FL 33480

Listed for $59,500,000

This waterfront estate, formerly owned by the late William Flaherty is an incredible property.

Built in 1987 upon 0.8 acres of prime waterfront land, the estate boasts a 5,600 square foot main house adorned with 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and 1 half-bathroom, along with a charming 3,300 square foot guest house featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. With its enviable position spanning 200 feet along the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway, this property presents an unparalleled opportunity for luxurious coastal living.

200 S Ocean Boulevard Palm Beach, FL 33480

Listed for $59,000,000

Earlier this month, David and Becky Gochman just listed their stunning oceanfront parcel. David Gochman's entrepreneurial journey includes the successful sale of his family's renowned sporting goods empire, Academy Sports & Outdoors, to the private equity firm KKR for a staggering $2,100,000,000 in 2011, as reported by Forbes. Following this achievement, he established Inclenberg Investments, based in Palm Beach, in 2012. The Gochmans' connection to luxury real estate began in 2014 when they acquired the South Ocean Boulevard property for $15,400,000 million, according to records. Demonstrating their commitment to refinement and elegance, they embarked on the construction of a new residence on the expansive 0.9 acre parcel in 2018. The resulting masterpiece spans 5,800 square feet, boasting 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 1 pool, offering an unparalleled blend of coastal splendor and modern luxury.

690 Island Drive Palm Beach, FL 33480

Listed for $52,900,000

www.greenfieldwaters.com/search/details/1jo/0/

The 10 Most Expensive Homes That Sold in 2023, From Jay-Z’s Malibu Manse to Jeff Bezos’s Miami Getaway

Waterfront properties were the star of this year's list, with coastal estates in the Hamptons, Palm Beach and Connecticut selling for blockbuster numbers.

— By James McClain | Robb Report

Daniel Milstein For Sotheby's International Realty

Don’t let these blockbuster numbers fool you. While 2023’s 10 priciest real estate transactions racked up a total sales volume of nearly $1.2 billion, slightly surpassing our 2022 list’s tally, these deals were the exceptions. In almost every luxury market across the country, overall volume declined by double-digit percentages compared to the prior year, driven by economic jitters and soaring interest rates. Among the most severely impacted markets was the greater Los Angeles area, where there’s currently a glut of luxury mansions up for grabs, many of them sporting heavily slashed listing prices. Even typically downturn-proof communities such as Aspen and Palm Beach were not immune to the slowdown.

As always, a majority of the top 10 deals were hush-hush transfers inked off-market. And it’s worth noting that all but two of the deals involved oceanfront—or at least waterfront—properties, suggesting buyers are still willing to shell out big for trophy vacation homes with direct beach access. Here’s our list of 2023’s priciest residential sales.

Top: Paradise Cove, Malibu—$190 Million

Coming in at the top of the heap, and the only California property to make the list, was this colossal blufftop complex atop Paradise Cove in Malibu, which sold for $190 million in cash. This year’s biggest real estate transfer was also likely the most highly publicized, thanks to A-list buyers Jay-Z and Beyonce. It’s the priciest-ever deal for a California home, and the second-priciest ever recorded nationwide.

First commissioned in the late 1990s by Bill and Maria Bell—he the son of the soap opera tycoons who created The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful—the house took 15 years to plan and build. Completed circa 2014, the monolithic fortress was created, at least partially, to display the Bells’ enormous collection of modern art, including numerous works by Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst and Marcel Duchamp. Though the property was never publicly marketed for sale, the Bells had reportedly shopped the place off-market with a whopping $250 million ask.

Bottom: North Ocean Boulevard, Palm Beach—$155 Million

In April, New York-based car dealership mogul Michael Cantanucci broke the Palm Beach record with his $170 million purchase of this oceanfront estate, which features a nearly 25,000-square-foot, Tuscan-style mansion built in the 2000s. The house was never on the market, so further details are scant, but the seller was billionaire coffee entrepreneur Bob Stiller, who paid just $25 million for the estate in 2014.

Copper Beech Farm, Greenwich—$138.8 Million

Photo : Daniel Milstein For Sotheby's International Realty

This year’s most out-of-left-field big transfer was likely the sale of Connecticut’s Copper Beech Farm, which recorded at a state record of nearly $140 million. The deal came even as the Greenwich real estate market has badly sagged in recent years. The seller, billionaire Ray Dalio, had paid $120 million for the place back in 2014, though that unconventional transaction reportedly included the assumption of tens of millions worth of debt on the estate. The all-cash buyer, who remains anonymous for now, is thought to hail from Mainland China. Copper Beech Farm features 50-acres of land with a 13,500-square-foot main house originally built in 1898, plus spectacular gardens and roughly a mile of private water frontage on Long Island Sound.

Meadow Lane, Southampton—$112.5 Million

Photo: Google Earth

New York’s biggest deal of 2023 was inked in the Hamptons, and it’s no surprise that the property in question is one of the largest estates on Southampton’s ultra-prime Meadow Lane—often called Billionaires’ Row. The titanic spread sold for $112.5 million to an as-yet-unidentified billionaire shielded behind a Delaware entity called Meerkat LLC, with the thrifty buyer negotiating a cool 36% discount off the estate’s $175 million original ask. Long owned by ad exec Marcia Riklis, the so-called Mylestone estate is anchored by an 18,000-square-foot manor house situated on 8-acres of land, with nearly 500 feet of ocean frontage.

Windmill Lane, East Hampton—$91.5 Million

Photo: Google Earth

Talk about a profitable flip. The seller of this two-parcel East Hampton compound, real estate investor Peter Fine, bought the property in 2020 for $45 million. Just three years later, without making any significant changes to the place, he flipped it for an eye-popping $91.5 million to an unidentified buyer. Still not crazy enough for you? There are rumors the new owner might tear down the estate’s current structures to build something more lavish, so that $91.5 million might’ve been for the land alone.

Great Island, Darien, Connecticut—$85 Million

Photo: Google Earth

Great Island, a 63-acre waterfront property on Long Island Sound, features a land bridge that connects to the mainland in Darien, Conn. For decades, the island served as the ultimate private compound since it was built at the turn of the century, with amenities such as world-class equestrian facilities (including a polo practice field), a private beach, and a secluded harbor with a dock and boat house. Owned for over 100 years by different generations of the same family and originally offered at $175 million, the giant estate was acquired by the town of Darien for a heavily discounted $85 million. At last check, the town was still deciding what to do with the island, which features a 13,000-square-foot historic mansion and multiple ancillary structures.

220 Central Park South, New York City—$80 Million

Photo: Google Earth

The two-building skyscraper at 220 Central Park South is famously a huge hit with billionaires, so it’s no surprise that New York City’s biggest residential deal of 2023 was recorded at the limestone complex. This time, it was a duplex penthouse at the shorter “villa” building that fetched $80 million in a staggering resale. While the unit itself was never on the market, sellers Suna Said and her husband Scott Maslin had paid about $66 million for the Central Park-facing apartment in 2020. The anonymous buyer, who may or may not be a big-name celebrity, has a Los Angeles mailing address.

Indian Creek Island, Miami—$79 Million

Photo: Google Earth

In October, two months after paying $68 million for an oceanfront estate on Miami’s Indian Creek island, Jeff Bezos dropped $79 million on the house next door. The lucky neighbor, who acquired the 19,000-square-foot mansion back in 2014 for just $28 million, remains unknown. Bezos reportedly plans to bulldoze both properties to make way for a custom compound of his own creation, so that $79 million was likely just for the dirt alone.

Ute Avenue, Aspen—$76 Million

Photo: Google Earth

Aspen’s biggest-ever home sale was unconventional in more ways than one. Unlike most of the other properties on this list, the $76 million deal was not an all-cash transfer. The buyer, car dealership mogul Terry Taylor, paid $51 million of the purchase price in cash but also gave the seller, real estate developer Leathem Stern, a smaller Aspen home valued at $25 million. The ski-in, ski-out house features four full floors totaling more than 20,000 square feet of living space. Not everyone who crossed paths with the property enjoyed the experience, however—a Christie’s real estate agent is currently suing Stern for $1.7 million in commission payments she claims were owed to her in the deal.

70000TONS OF METAL 2024: January 29 - February 2 Miami, FL to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

The 70000TONS OF METAL festival organizers have announced that the twelfth edition of the floating festival will sail on January 29th to February 2nd from Miami, Florida - Cruise Capital of the World - to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and back, on board the luxury passenger vessel Freedom of the Seas.

The festival will once again host 60 Heavy Metal bands spanning all subgenres and welcome 3000 metalheads from around the world. 

Freedom of the Seas, a Freedom class cruise ship, offers a host of amenities and complimentary dining options. Guests will also enjoy unrestricted festival access to all 120+ performances across four stages: 

The Royal Theater is a five-storied concert hall. The more intimate Star Lounge offers the local club vibe. A third indoor stage, Studio B, provides an arena-like atmosphere. Lastly, but most notable, the Pool Deck Stage: The World’s Biggest Open Air Stage structure to sail the Open Seas. This colossal stage is surrounded by bars, plenty of room to sunbathe and even hot tubs incorporated into the stage itself, offering guests the unique opportunity to watch their favorite metal bands from the comfort of a hot tub.

The ship will sail to Puerto Plata - the Dominican Republic's oldest city in the north and the pioneer of tourism in the country. The city is famous for Parque Independencia, the “Central Park” of Puerto Plata and a popular meeting point. Take a cable car to the top of “Monte Isabel de Torres”, a peak rising 2,600 feet above sea level. Swim and snorkel at Sosua beach and then grab some lunch or a beverage at one of the many nearby restaurants and bars. Try some local fare with a bowl of la Bandera: a meat stew with rice, beans, and fried plantains or a saucy Pescado con coco (fish in coconut sauce). 

La Casa de la Cultura is a three-story Victorian house that features local arts exhibits, a contemporary art gallery, library and store with local goods for sale. Find yourself some of the oldest, most translucent amber in the world, which Puerto Plata is famous for. 

As the festival organizers continually strive to innovate and improve the Heavy Metal Festival Experience for their guests and their surroundings, festivalgoers will once again have the option to purchase a Carbon Offset when booking their Private Cabin or Single Ticket for 70000TONS OF METAL 2024. For the eleventh voyage of 70000TONS OF METAL in 2023, nearly 15% of their customers chose to purchase the additional Carbon Offset. The funds contributed through the Carbon Offset Program went to Greentripper's Improved Cookstoves in Ghana project.

Los organizadores del festival 70000TONS OF METAL han anunciado que la decimosegunda edición del festival flotante navegará del 29 de enero al 2 de febrero saliendo desde Miami, Florida - Capital Mundial de los Cruceros - rumbo a Puerto Plata, República Dominicana, y de regreso, a bordo de la lujosa embarcación para pasajeros Freedom of the Seas.

El Royal Theater es una sala de conciertos de cinco pisos. El Star Lounge, un recinto más íntimo, ofrece la sensación de estar en un club local. El tercer escenario techado, Studio B, recrea la atmósfera de las arenas. Y por último, el escenario más notorio, el Pool Deck Stage: el escenario al aire libre más grande del mundo que navega en altamar. Este escenario colosal está rodeado por bares, bastante espacio para tomar el sol, e incluso jacuzzis integrados en los escenarios que ofrecen a los huéspedes la oportunidad única de ver a sus bandas de metal favoritas desde la comodidad de un jacuzzi.

El barco navegará a Puerto Plata – la ciudad más antigua en el norte de la República Dominicana y pionera en el turismo del país. La ciudad es famosa por el Parque Independencia (también conocido como Parque Central), un punto de encuentro popular. Toma un teleférico hasta la cima del Monte Isabel de Torres, un pico de 2,600 pies sobre el nivel del mar. Nada y bucea a la playa de Sosúa, y luego almuerza o toma una copa en uno de los muchos restaurantes y bares cercanos. Prueba la comida local, como “La Bandera”: un guiso de carne con arroz, frijoles, plátanos fritos, o el pescado con coco.

La Casa de la Cultura es una casa victoriana de tres pisos que exhibe arte local, y tiene una galería de arte contemporáneo, una biblioteca y una tienda que vende productos locales. Encuentra algunas de las piezas de ámbar más antiguas y más translúcidas del mundo, a las cuales Puerto Plata debe su fama.

Ya que los organizadores del festival se esfuerzan continuamente por innovar y mejorar la experiencia del mejor festival de Heavy Metal para sus huéspedes y su entorno, una vez más, los metaleros tendrán la opción de comprar una compensación de CO2 al momento de reservar su cabina privada o Ticket Individual (Single Ticket) para 70000TONS OF METAL 2024.
