Guardalavaca Beach in Holguin, Cuba
Guardalavaca is a town in the Holguín Province of Cuba. It is a tourist location due to its white sandy beaches and warm waters.
It is located on the northern shore of Cuba, bordering Bahia de Naranjo (Orange Bay), on Cabo Lucrecia, and is part of the municipality of Banes. Beaches in Guardalavaca include Guardalavaca Beach, Playa Esmeralda, Don Lino and Bahia de Naranjo.
Guardalavaca literally means guard the cow in Spanish. There are several accounts as to how this name may have originated; one version maintains that Guardalavaca is a malapropism for its original name Guardalabarca, meaning guard the ship. Since most people from that region (lower - middle class) do not pronounce the r (their way of speaking), the name stuck from Guardalabarca to Guardalavaca. The area was once heavily targeted by sea pirates, and Bahía de Naranjo near what is now the town of Guardalavaca is a secluded shallow bay connected to the open sea by a narrow inlet, which made it a proper safe haven to guard ships against pirates. On the other hand, the name may have originated from pirates going after the cattle grazing in the area. As pirates were spotted, the local farmers would thus shout, Guardalavaca - guard the cow.
The Cuban government has attempted on several occasions to change the name of the area as they deem it not to be very appealing; they have so far been unsuccessful.
When Christopher Columbus first laid eyes on Cuba in 1492, he declared it the most beautiful land he had ever seen. He was actually looking at what is now Holguin, a rugged, mountainous region near the beach destination of Guardalavaca on Cuba’s northeastern shore.
Hundreds of years later, it still gets that reaction — from vacationers who come here to experience some of the most picturesque beaches in the Caribbean. Its turquoise waters, which shelter coral reefs and abundant marine life, are bordered by powdery white sand and tropical forests, still largely untouched from the days of Columbus.
Guardalavaca Beach is a ribbon of white sand stretching 1.5 kilometres along the Atlantic coastline. With a diving school, sailing facilities and vehicle rentals, there’s plenty to keep vacationers occupied — and plenty of sand for those who want to do nothing at all.
Located directly on the beach is the all-inclusive Brisas Guardalavaca — one of the most popular resorts in Cuba with a high ratio of repeat clients, thanks to its reputation for friendly, professional service. With 231 standard rooms and 206 villas in two- and three-storey buildings, all with a balcony or terrace, the resort can accommodate couples, families and groups (with special deals for weddings, honeymoons and repeat clients).
Villas offer plenty of space for families, groups or wedding parties. Of the property’s four pools, two are for children; there’s also a kids’ mini-club and childcare services available at an additional cost. Other amenities include a gym, games room, discotheque, tea garden, bike rentals, non-motorized watersports and daily entertainment, with options for diving and horseback riding. Guests can choose between an international buffet and five a la carte restaurants, along with 10 bars and a wine cellar. Romantic dinners can be arranged on the beach.
Another option is the all-inclusive Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca, also located directly on the beach, with a high repeat guest rate. Known for its Cuban flair, this 743-room complex is considered one of the largest three-star properties in the Caribbean, with plenty of accommodation options — hotel rooms, bungalows and villas — for couples, families and groups, as well as divers.
Along with four swimming pools and a children’s area, the resort offers a kids’ mini-club, fitness centre, bike rentals and an entertainment programme, along with three buffet restaurants, six specialized restaurants and nine bars. A dive centre is located on the beach just 300 metres from the resort.
Off the resort, vacationers can dive among the coral reefs, swim with dolphins or explore the surrounding mountains. Nearby is the Spanish-influenced city of Holguin, with cathedrals, museums and historical buildings in picturesque plazas. The city has a thriving arts community, thanks to a long tradition of theatre, ballet and visual arts; points of interest include Calixto Garcia Park, Revolution Square, and San Isidoro Cathedral.
Guardalavaca stretches over 3 km. of beach among steep cliffs, facing the Atlantic Ocean, 54 km. north-east of Holguín province. Its warm, quiet waters, turquoise blue in color, are protected by coral reefs, 300 m. into the sea, creating an ideal microclimate for sea life.

GUARDALAVACA ( Holguin ) CUBA

Una statua in una insenatura lo raffigura
mantenendone la memoria
Guardalavaca è una città nella provincia di Holguin di Cuba . Si tratta di una zona turistica; grazie alla sua posizione; sabbia bianca, spiagge e acque calde.
Spiaggia a Guardalavaca
Si trova sulla costa settentrionale di Cuba, al confine con Bahia Naranjo (Orange Bay), a Cabo Lucrecia, e fa parte del comune di Banes . Spiagge in Guardalavaca comprendono Playa Guardalavaca, Playa Esmeralda, Don Lino e Bahia de Naranjo.
Guardalavaca significa letteralmente guardia la mucca in spagnolo . Ci sono diversi account su come questo nome potrebbe aver avuto origine, una versione sostiene che Guardalavaca è una papera per la sua Guardalabarca nome originale, che significa guardia la nave. La zona era una volta fortemente mirata via mare dei pirati , e Bahia Naranjo vicino a quella che è oggi la città di Guardalavaca è una poco profonda baia appartata collegata al mare aperto da una stretta insenatura , che ha reso un sicuro rifugio adeguato per proteggere le navi dai pirati. D'altra parte, il nome potrebbe aver avuto origine dai pirati che andavano a predare il bestiame al pascolo nella zona. Come i pirati sono stati avvistati, dagli agricoltori locali sarebbe quindi stato il messaggio, Guardalavaca - guardia la mucca.
Il governo cubano ha tentato più volte di cambiare il nome della zona non ritenendolo molto attraente. Finora non ha avuto successo.*
