Camagüey y Santa Lucía
Be amazed by the incredible array of options for tourism in Camaguey City.
Beaches, culture, nature, places of tourist interest, excursions inside and outside the city will make your visit to this Cuban province an experience to share and repeat over and over again.
Santa Lucia Beach, located some 110 km from the capital city, is the main tourist destination in the province. Blessed by nature, it comprises 22 kilometers from Punta de Ganado to Los Cocos Beach; being the latter much appreciated because of its wide sand strip and privacy. Embraced by the Atlantic Ocean, the typical color of its waters and its proximity to one of the largest coral formations worldwide makes it different from other beaches of Cuba.

Cuba 2019 - Day Six - Camaguey - 3/21/2019
On the sixth day of our trip to Cuba we stayed in Camaguey at the Santa Maria hotel, a quaint and centrally located hotel to important landmarks of the city. In the morning we walked to a nearby plaza where we visited a colonial church, the proceeded to the Theatro Principal to watch a famous ballet troupe do their warm up exercises. The afternoon was spent at the King Ranch in the province (covered in another video). The evening found us at a local Paladar restaurant for another enjoyable meal.

Culture[edit]
The clay pots in Camagüey
The symbol of the city of Camagüey is the clay pot or tinajón, used to capture rain water to be used later, keeping it fresh. Clay pots are everywhere, some as small as a hand, some large enough for two people to stand up in, either as monuments or for real use. Local legend has it that if you drink water from a girl's personal tinajón, you will fall in love with the girl and never leave her. The main secondary education institutions are the University of Camagüey and the Instituto Pedagógico de Camagüey.
In July 2008, the old town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Demographics[edit]
In 2004, the municipality of Camagüey had a population of 324,921.[2] With a total area of 1,106 km2 (427 sq mi),[1] it has a population density of 293.8/km2 (761/sq mi).

Hurricane Irma is an extremely powerful tropical cyclone that is currently making landfall in Cuba and is threatening the Southeastern United States. It is the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin outside the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and is tied with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane as the strongest landfalling cyclone on record in the Atlantic basin as well as the strongest Atlantic hurricane since Wilma of 2005 in terms of maximum sustained winds, the most intense in terms of pressure since Dean in 2007, and the first of such intensity to make landfall anywhere in the Atlantic since Felix in 2007. Irma is also the first Category 5 hurricane on record to affect the northern Leeward Islands, and only the second hurricane on record to make landfall in Cuba at such an intensity, with the other being a hurricane in 1924. A typical Cape Verde hurricane,[1][2][3] Irma developed on August 30 near the Cape Verde Islands from a tropical wave that had moved off the west African coast two days prior. It is the ninth named storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season.[4][5][6]
Under favorable conditions, Irma rapidly intensified shortly after formation, becoming a Category 2 hurricane within a mere 24 hours. It became a Category 3 hurricane (and therefore a major hurricane) shortly afterward; however, the intensity fluctuated for the next several days due to a series of eyewall replacement cycles. On September 5, Irma became a Category 5 hurricane, and by early the next day, Irma reached peak intensity with 185 mph (295 km/h) winds and a minimum pressure of 914 mbar (914 hPa; 27.0 inHg). This ties it as the second-strongest Atlantic hurricane by wind speed, surpassed only by Allen of 1980 which reached wind speeds of 190 mph (305 km/h). Irma sustained these 185 mph (295 km/h) winds for 37 hours, surpassing Allen's record, which had sustained 180 mph (285 km/h) winds for 18 hours.[7] In addition, Irma achieved one of the longest durations of Category 5 strength winds ever on record.[8] Irma's low pressure also makes it the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide in 2017 so far.
It caused catastrophic damage in Barbuda, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Anguilla and the Virgin Islands as a Category 5 hurricane

Ernesto Che Guevara
Ernesto Che Guevara,commonly known as el Che or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia within popular culture.
As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout South America and was moved by the poverty, hunger, and disease he witnessed. His burgeoning desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States prompted his involvement in Guatemala's social reforms under President Jacobo Arbenz, whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow at the behest of the United Fruit Company solidified Guevara's political ideology.Later, while living in Mexico City, he met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht, Granma, with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second-in-command, and played a pivotal role in the victorious two-year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.
Following the Cuban Revolution, Guevara performed a number of key roles in the new government. These included reviewing the appeals and firing squads for those convicted as war criminals during the revolutionary tribunals, instituting agrarian land reform as minister of industries, helping spearhead a successful nationwide literacy campaign, serving as both national bank president and instructional director for Cuba's armed forces, and traversing the globe as a diplomat on behalf of Cuban socialism. Such positions also allowed him to play a central role in training the militia forces who repelled the Bay of Pigs Invasion and bringing the Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba which precipitated the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Additionally, he was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare, along with a best-selling memoir about his youthful continental motorcycle journey. His experiences and studying of Marxism--Leninism led him to posit that the Third World's underdevelopment and dependence was an intrinsic result of imperialism, neocolonialism, and monopoly capitalism, with the only remedy being proletarian internationalism and world revolution.Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to foment revolution abroad, first unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed.
Guevara remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic invocations for class struggle, and desire to create the consciousness of a new man driven by moral rather than material incentives, he has evolved into a quintessential icon of various leftist-inspired movements. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, while an Alberto Korda photograph of him entitled Guerrillero Heroico (shown), was cited by the Maryland Institute College of Art as the most famous photograph in the world.
Santa Clara is the capital city of the Cuban province of Villa Clara. It is located in the most central region of the province and almost in the most central region of the country.
Santa Clara was the site of the last battle in the Cuban Revolution in late 1958. There were two guerrilla columns that attacked the city, one led by Ernesto Che Guevara and the other led by Camilo Cienfuegos. Guevara's column first captured the garrison at Fomento. Then, using a bulldozer, Guevara's soldiers destroyed railroad tracks and derailed a train full of troops and supplies sent by Batista. At the same time, Cienfuegos's column defeated an army garrison at the Battle of Yaguajay not far from town. On December 31, 1958, the combined forces of Guevara and Cienfuegos (along with other revolutionaries under William Alexander Morgan) attacked Santa Clara. The battle was chaotic, the defenders were demoralized, some fought, others surrendered without a shot. By the afternoon, the city was captured. This victory for Castro's troops is seen as the decisive moment in the Cuban Revolution as Batista fled Cuba less than 12 hours later.

Visiting Cuba
Timeworn yet radiant, run down yet stately, fun yet maddeningly disappointing - Cuba is a nation of indefinable enchantment.
Expect the Unexpected
Cuba resemble a ruler in a poor man's jacket; behind the occasionally shabby exteriors, gold clean waits. It's these rich divisions that make go here the energizing, invigorating crazy ride it is. Caught in a period twist and reeling from a monetary ban that has ground for more than a large portion of a century, this is a nation where you can wave farewell to Western surenesses and expect the unforeseen. In the event that Cuba were a book, it would be James Joyce's Ulysses; layered, hard to get a handle on, serially misconstrued, yet – most importantly – a work of art.
Verifiable Heritage
Carefully saved, Cuba's provincial urban areas haven't changed much since black powder rifle toting privateers stalked the Caribbean. The climate and design is especially mixing in the Unesco-recorded urban communities – Havana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Camagüey – where gaudy squares and cobbled avenues tell recent stories of extravagance and interest. Somewhere else numerous structures lie destroyed and worn out like maturing dames sitting tight for a facelift. With more supports, these treasures may yet imitate the provincial fortunes in Havana and Trinidad, additional confirmation that the shielding of Cuba's verifiable legacy has been one of the upset's most noteworthy accomplishments.
Past the Beaches
Despite the fact that the alluring bends of white sand that pepper its north drift are superb, investigate past Cuba's shorelines and you're in an alternate space, a place where there is fruitful woodlands and crocodile-swarmed swamps, the suburbs free wide open and rough mountains as well known for their progressive old stories with respect to their endemic species. Cuba, once watched German researcher Alexander von Humboldt, is a sort of Caribbean Galapagos where opposing interests coincide.
Why I Love Cuba
By Brendan Sainsbury, Writer
When I consider Cuba, I generally think about my first night back in Havana after a break; the bustling barometrical lanes, the depictions of lives lived out in the open, and the unmistakable smells: tropical papaya blended with tobacco leaf, petrol and smelly floor coverings. Cuba is a taboo natural product, a perplexing nation of head-scratching disagreements, which, however ordinarily you visit, will never enough answer every one of your inquiries. Above all else I cherish Cuba's musicality, hearty culture, brilliantly saved history, and the way that it can baffle you one moment and out of the blue rouse you the following.
Social Eclecticism
Cuba hemorrhages music; a dynamic blend of styles depicted by fans as a relationship between the African drum and the Spanish guitar. Permitted to marinate for more than 500 years, these various sounds have brought forth a complex culture, shading it with echoes of Africa, glimmers of frontier Spain, phantoms of Taíno tribes, and social characteristics imported from Haiti, Jamaica, France and even China. The magnificence lies in its layers and subtleties. It's a diversity that is reflected in its move, engineering, dialect, religion, and – most unequivocally – its rainbow of individuals.
