CTV Macoris

San Pedro de Macorís (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsam ˈpeðɾo ðe makoˈɾis]) is a province of the Dominican Republic, also the name of its capital city.[1] The city is fairly active due to its proximity to the Capital of Santo Domingo and also its role in the sugar industry. The province is infomally known as San Pedro, SPM or Serie 23 for the first 2 numbers of their Dominican identification or Cedula.
Citizens from San Pedro De Macorís are called petromacorisanos. The culture of the province shares many similarities with those of the other eastern provinces. For example, during carnival season, the diablos (devils) tend to wield fuetes (whips), which relates to the traditional cattle farming of the whole region.
Serie 23 is a mecca for all Dominican culture and was the home to the DR’s most famous writer Pedro Mir. In the past years the beautiful architecture of Serie 23 has been used as a backdrop for several Hollywood Feature Films such as “Miami Vice”, “The Good Shepherd” and “Sugar”. It is often portrayed as Havana, Cuba.
