Hig\u00fcey<\/b>\u00a0(Spanish pronunciation:\u00a0<\/small>[i\u02c8\u0263wei]<\/span>), or in full\u00a0Salvale\u00f3n de Hig\u00fcey<\/b>,[citation needed<\/span><\/i>]<\/sup>\u00a0is the capital city of the eastern\u00a0La Altagracia Province, in the\u00a0Dominican Republic, and the eighth largest city of that country.[4]<\/sup>\u00a0The\u00a0Yuma River\u00a0flows through the urban areas of Hig\u00fcey.<\/p>\n

Hig\u00fcey is also the name of a former\u00a0native chiefdom\u00a0in Hispaniola’s easternmost end when\u00a0Christopher Columbus\u00a0arrived. It is now one of the country’s economically fastest-developing cities, sometimes nicknamed the Capital of Dominican Tourism or the Capital of\u00a0Stockbreeding. As of 2006, over 150,000 people lived in Hig\u00fcey. The city thrives chiefly on tourism, with many of its inhabitants employed in the hotel complexes of\u00a0Punta Cana\u00a0a few kilometers away, or selling tourist products.[ad id=\u00bb11330″]<\/p>\n

    Origin of name<\/span><\/h2>\n

    [—]According to some authors, GUEY or HUIOU is the sun in the\u00a0Arawakan language\u00a0of the island’s native\u00a0Ta\u00edno\u00a0people.[citation needed<\/span><\/i>]<\/sup>\u00a0Among several Mesoamerican tribes the term also means sun, light, day. Perhaps coincidentally, Hig\u00fcey is located at the island’s eastern end, that is to say, in the region that first receives the rays of the sun. Thus the name Hig\u00fcey might mean\u00a0land where the sun is born<\/i>.<\/p>\n

    Economy<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The economy of Hig\u00fcey is based on tropical\u00a0agriculture\u00a0(reed,\u00a0coffee,\u00a0tobacco,\u00a0cacao,\u00a0rice, and\u00a0maize), cattle (cows and pigs), fishing and tourism on the coast.<\/p>\n

    Tourism<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The main historical attraction in Hig\u00fcey is the Cathedral, which displays the \u00abVirgen de la Altagracia\u00bb, a painting brought by Spanish missionaries in the 15th century. The painting was previously kept in the similarly 500-year-old church of San Dionisio, which remains in religious use. Every year on Virgin of La Altagracia Day (January 21),a national holiday, tens of thousands of pilgrims visit the Cathedral.<\/p>\n

    History<\/span><\/h2>\n

    When European settlers invaded Hispanola, this eastern section belonged to the Ca\u00ed\u00e7imu-Hig\u00fcey kingdom of\u00a0Ta\u00edno\u00a0Indians. Leaders included Caciques\u00a0Cotubanam\u00e1\u00a0and\u00a0Cayacoa, the female Caciqua\u00a0Higuanam\u00e1\u00a0and other leaders, male and female. This area became the last to be conquered by the Spanish.\u00a0Juan de Esquivel\u00a0led the conquest in 1503, a year after the brutal\u00a0Nicol\u00e1s de Ovando\u00a0was appointed the new colony’s governor. He assigned Esquiv\u00e9l to subjugate the area, justifying the assignment as payback for a Taino attack (led by Cotubanam\u00e1) on 8 Spanish sailors, which was in turn revenge for Spaniards who slaughtered the Cacique of nearby Saona for sport, setting a battle\u00a0Mastiff\u00a0to attack him as he was loading traded cassava bread on a barge.<\/sup><\/p>\n

    Bartolom\u00e9 de las Casas\u00a0participated in and later described the\u00a0Hig\u00fcey massacre\u00a0in which the Spanish slaughtered natives who surrendered after a short but heroic resistance. Men, women and children were disemboweled alive; many were tortured by having hands and feet cut off as the Spaniards taunted. The Spaniards hanged or rounded up and knifed to death yet more.\u00a0<\/sup>By 1519 the Ta\u00edno of the Hig\u00fcey region were enslaved, and their numbers had declined to only 1,189 individuals.<\/sup>\u00a0The Spanish then brought in African slaves.\u00a0[ad id=\u00bb11330″]<\/p>\n

    On December 7, 1508, Spanish trade authorities at\u00a0Seville\u00a0authorized Hig\u00fcey to display a Coat of Arms by Royal Privilege, which granted it limited self-government. During the Spanish colonial period, Hig\u00fcey remained a Parish of El Seibo county.<\/p>\n

    Then in 1801, a decade after the\u00a0Haitian Revolution\u00a0began, and after\u00a0Napoleon\u00a0deposed the Spanish king,\u00a0Toussaint Louverture\u00a0briefly captured the Spanish portion of Hispaniola. Spain had ceded Hispaniola to France under the\u00a0Treaty of Basel\u00a0in 1795, and did not regain control until 1809. During this and French rule, Hig\u00fcey was a district of the Ozama department. After Spanish forces regained control in the\u00a0Espa\u00f1a Boba\u00a0period, Hig\u00fcey again became part of the El Seibo region. In 1821, during the brief Spanish Republic of Haiti, the area tried to protect itself from its much larger neighbors by allying with\u00a0Gran Colombia. However, wars both with Haiti and for independence continued. In 1822, Haitian forces under the command of\u00a0Jean-Pierre Boyer\u00a0recaptured Hig\u00fcey in the\u00a0Haitian occupation of Santo Domingo. The local economy sputtered under military rule and land expropriations, although slavery did end under both Haitian control and British naval enforcement throughout the Caribbean of antislavery policies advocated by\u00a0William Wilberforce.<\/p>\n

    When the Dominican Republic was proclaimed in 1844 through the efforts of\u00a0La Trinitaria, the new Governmental Central Meeting placed Hig\u00fcey under administration of the Province of El Seibo.\u00a0Pedro Santana, although President sporadically during the next decades, actually acted as the country’s first dictator. While he ranched near the Haitian border, this eastern province was one of his strongholds. Santana sought to return to Spanish rule, and he got his wish for the four years before his death (although Spanish rule did little to develop the province).\u00a0<\/sup>After the War of Restoration, the second Republic, either because of or in spite of the\u00a0Monroe Doctrine\u00a0lasted until 1916, although the countryside remained extremely poor and actually governed by various aristocratic cliques. Guerillas from El Seibo province fought the United States\u00a0occupation of Santo Domingo\u00a0from 1916 to 1924. The area experienced a few years of relative prosperity before agricultural prices again crashed and further de facto dictatorships began under\u00a0Rafael Le\u00f3nidas Trujillo Molina. The United States again\u00a0occupied Santo Domingo from 1965 to 1966.\u00a0[—]<\/p>\n

    Climate<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Hig\u00fcey features a\u00a0tropical rainforest climate, with consistently high temperatures and substantial rainfall throughout the year. The city has drier periods, with March, April and October being the driest months, but like other cities and towns with this climate, there is no\u00a0dry season, and the city experiences an average of more than 205 inches of precipitation a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Basilica of La Altagracia<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The town’s patroness is the Virgin of La Altagracia, a painting brought to the island by Spanish missionaries and now displayed in the\u00a0Sanctuary of Our Lady of La Altagracia. Every year on her feast day (January 21), thousands of Dominicans gather to venerate the miraculous image at what might be the earliest Marian shrine in the Americas. The Spanish National Library in Madrid has a letter from Can. Lic. Luis Jer\u00f3nimo of Alcocer, born on Hispaniola, mentioning the veneration as early as 1650. The current Basilica was built to honor the image, which remains displayed in the old Cathedral’s Sanctuary, which a corridor now unites to a modern basilica suitable for such large gatherings.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>The Sanctuary of Hig\u00fcey<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Juan de Esquivel, conqueror of the local Taino and later Jamaica, founded the historic village of Salvale\u00f3n of Hig\u00fcey in 1505, and included a parish church. The first Marian sanctuary in America was emblazoned with a royal shield by order of the King of Spain.<\/p>\n

    The current brick cathedral was started in the middle of the 16th century by Can. Mr. Alonso of Rock with the architectural assistance of Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar, fifth grandfather of the\u00a0Liberator of South America. Despite the region’s earthquakes, the solid construction has resisted deterioration. It has a vaulted ceiling of five simple but sturdy arches. While the dome they support resembles an orange skin or star, a seashell shape emphasized the altar area. At the center of the high altar, a silver niche highlights the ancient holy painting. The 16th-century artist carved the local mahogany by hand. An ornate silver\u00a0baldaquin\u00a0covers the high altar, steps and Sacrarium.<\/p>\n

    The old cathedral has a simple exterior, as does the bell tower. Joaqu\u00edn Alf\u00e1u donated the bells in 1864, and a dozen years later paid for marble to pave the floor.<\/p>\n

    The Sanctuary keeps many\u00a0votive offerings. Some are of historic value, others are curiosities or reminders of the gold and silver fever that once infected the region. In 1922, to celebrate independence as well as the painting’s Canonical and Papal Coronation on August 15, residents donated a beautiful crown of gold and precious stones, topped by a cross of diamonds and two solid gold angels. The painting itself has a gold and silver frame, inlaid by precious stones including an emerald donated by\u00a0Pope Pius X\u00a0to Archbishop\u00a0Adolfo Alejandro Nouel\u00a0to commemorate his election as President of the Republic in 1912 (shortly before the first American occupation ended his term and he donated it to the miraculous image). The cathedral’s treasury also holds a gigantic intricate colonial golden\u00a0monstrance, as well as an elegant silver throne (with golden inlays and chimes), which was used in 1811 during the painting’s transfer from the Church of San Dionisio. Another silver chalice dates from 1737, gift of the President of the Real Audience of Saint . Other precious objects include gold and silver walking canes, as well as many precious antique silver items including a crucifix, two chalices and cups, six sticks for the canopy used on feast days and other special occasions, a cross and parochial candlesticks, candelabras and flower vases.<\/p>\n

    Airport<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Punta Cana International Airport (IATA: PUJ, ICAO: MDPC) is a privately owned commercial airport in Punta Cana, eastern Dominican Republic. The airport is built in a traditional Dominican style with open-air terminals with their roofs covered in palm fronds. A number of scheduled and charter airlines fly to Punta Cana. The airport handled more than 1 million visitors in 2002, making it the busiest airport in the Dominican Republic. In 2007 Punta Cana received more than 3 million passengers. The operators plan to upgrade the airport, including adding another runway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
