Tourism in Cuba

Sancti Spiritus

In this province ends the Camagüey prairie and starts some mountainous bulks, among them Encambray, where is located the peculiar city of Trinidad. Famous by its streets paved with dyed colours stones (ochre, blue, green or pink) that dates from the 18th century, has been declared by the UNESCO "Patrimony of the Humanity", mainly by its historical centre, a set of stone paved streets that reunite in the Plaza Mayor, where it raises the parochial church of the Santísima Trinidad, where it’s the 17th to 20th centuries images collection, the San Francisco convent and the Brunet palace, constructed in the 18th century. This palace, along with the Cantero palace is a faithful testimony of the architectonic splendour of the city.

Other interesting places are the former inns of the 18th century; the jigüe tree that grows in the Plaza Real; the old San Francisco de Asís convent, that lodges a peculiar Museum of the War against Bandits and the Privateer House, constructed to lodge the captain of corsairs Carlos Merlin.

The province limits to the north with the Buena Vista bay, to the east with the Ciego de Avila province and to the west with the Villa Clara and Cienfuegos provinces. The Villa Clara province, in whose capital are the rests of the mythical Che Guevara, counts on the attractiveness of its virgin and solitary beaches like Coralillo, Panchita, Carahatas and Carabarién.
