Higüey, La Altagracia
Higüey centers on the Basílica Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia — a striking modernist cathedral with sweeping arches and luminous stained glass — plus lively markets, colonial streets and rural palm/sugarcane landscapes nearby. Best light is golden hour on the basilica’s façade and interior morning light through stained glass. Visit weekdays or early morning to avoid tour crowds; major pilgrimage days (Jan 21) offer dramatic processions but heavy crowds and limited access. Easy to reach
