Culture and Natural History in Cuba
Its complex politics and vibrant music have attracted the attention of the world. But Cuba, the largest island nation in the Caribbean, is also home to the unexpected. It’s a place of stunning contrasts: mysterious caves and bright boulevards, sweltering fields and cool forests, hard challenges and high energy.
Su política compleja y su música vibrante han atraído la atención del mundo. Pero Cuba, la nación más grande del Caribe, también es el hogar de lo inesperado.

Exploring gibara Cuba
YouTube Cocoloco y amigos Its all about Cuba video series video #1 1of1 cocoloco y amigos exploring Gibara (Spanish pronunciation: [xiˈβaɾa]) is a town and municipality of the Province of Holguín in the Republic of Cuba. Gibara is the fourth largest town by population and the ninth by area in Holguín.
The main town was founded on January 16, 1817. It is also known as The White Town, Spanish: La Villa Blanca. Gibara has a beautiful and breezy landscape, and also possesses excellent architectural designs and a well-planned layout of its streets, houses and parks. Even so, Gibara's biggest asset, according to visitors, are its people, which are described as cooperative, friendly, affectionate, and proud of their village and of its history. It is said Admiral Christopher Columbus had remarked of Gibara's environs that “it is the most beautiful land that human eyes saw.”
The White Villa in Gibara, although small, is said to possess a peculiar charm, exhibiting an architectural patrimony reflecting almost two centuries of history, as well as its people's cultural roots. Currently, some controversy exists about whether it was the Bay of Gibara or the Bay of Bariay that Admiral Christopher Columbus' ships reached during his first voyage to Cuba. The island of Cuba was discovered on October 28, 1492 after the disembarkation of La Pinta, La Niña and La Santa María, the first three European ships under the command of Admiral Columbus during his first trip toward the New World.
Gibara was declared a National Monument in 2002; additionally, since 2003, the International Festival of Cinema, where films are presented in a number of different categories, has been held in this small coastal town.
Demographics
A Journey through Cuba
Historically Santiago de Cuba has long been the second most important city on the island after Havana, and still remains the second largest. It is on a bay connected to the Caribbean Sea and is an important sea port. In 2004 the city of Santiago de Cuba had a population of about 494,337 people.
Santiago was also the home of the revolutionary hero, Frank País. On July 26, 1953, the Cuban Revolution began with an ill-prepared armed attack on the Moncada Barracks by a small contingent of rebels led by Fidel Castro. Shortly after this disastrous incident, País began talking with students and young working people informally, drawing around him what became an extremely effective urban revolutionary alliance. This developed into highly organized cells coordinating a large scale urban resistance that became instrumental in the success of the Cuban Revolution.
País' group prepared carefully, accruing weapons, collecting money, collecting medical supplies. They published a cheap newsletter that reported news that criticized the government, attempting to counter Batista's censorship.[7]
In the summer of 1955, País' organization merged with Castro's July 26 Movement. País became the leader of the new organization in Oriente province.
On January 1, 1959, Fidel Castro proclaimed the victory of the Cuban Revolution from a balcony on Santiago de Cuba's city hall.
Santiago de Cuba was the hometown of poet José María Heredia. It houses a museum that displays the extensive art collection of the Bacardí family.
Santiago de Cuba is well known for its cultural life. Some of Cuba's most famous musicians, including Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer and Eliades Ochoa (all of whom participated in the Buena Vista Social Club) and trova composer Ñico Saquito (Benito Antonio Fernández Ortiz) were born in the city or in one of the villages surrounding it. They have contributed to the typical, country-like music of the city.
Furthermore, Santiago de Cuba is well-known for its traditional dances, most notably son, from which salsa has been derived, and guaguancó, which is accompanied by percussion music only. The city is also well-known for its Carnival, which is strangely enough celebrated in July. During Carnival, traditional conga music is played in the streets on a traditional pentatonic trumpet, called the trompeta china.
A relatively high number of residents of the city adhere to Afro-Cuban religions, most notably santería. The city hosts an important community of descendants from Haitian immigrants from the 19th century. Some aspects of the religious vodún heritage of the city can be traced back to this community.
In the city there are multiple architectural styles, from Baroque to neoclassical. Of special interest are the wooded parks, the steep streets, colonial buildings with huge windows and crowded balconies. Preserved historical treasures include the first home in the Americas, the first cathedral in Cuba, the first copper mine opened in the Americas and the first Cuban museum.
The local citadel of San Pedro de la Roca is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as the most complete, best-preserved example of Spanish-American military architecture, based on Italian and Renaissance design principles
The Baconao Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere Reserve List in 1987
Holguin is one of the provinces of Cuba, the third most populous after Ciudad de la Habana and Santiago de Cuba. It lies in the northeast of the country. Its major cities include Holguín (the capital), Banes, Antilla, Mayarí, and Moa.
The province has a population of slightly over one million people. Its territory exceeds 9,300 km2 (3,600 sq mi), 25 percent of which are covered by forest.
Cayo Saetia is an island formed artificially at the beginning of the XX century when cutting the Entrecascos peninsula for a channel of some 100m of longitude built to unite the bays of Levisa and Cabonico with the purpose of facilitating the sailing between both points. It is located in the Nipe Bay, in the North coast of Cuba, it belongs to the Mayarí municipality in the oriental province of Holguín. For their natural securities this area has been incorporate to the National System of Protected Areas of Cuba with the Natural Park category. The access to Cayo Saetia is carried out for the marine, air road (using a helicopter) or simply in a means of terrestrial transport through the small drawbridge that unites it with the main island.
Cayo Saetia is an uninhabited place that even conserves its wild environment in an almost virgin state that offers the unique opportunity to carry out a safari among the forest under a conception of Natural Park.
It possesses 12 almost virgin beaches and a sea that it seems a peaceful lagoon where the surf is hardly a caress. You laud lovers of the diving they can enjoy an extensive coralline barrier that skirts the coast of the Key.

Uno de los palacios más grandes y más antiguos de toda La Habana. Ubicado frente a la Plaza de Armas, en la calle Tacón entre Obispo y O´Reilly, ocupa una manzana entera. Esta calle Tacón es la única de madera que se conserva en La Habana; pues cuando en la colonia se cambiaron los adoquines de madera por los de piedra, el capitán general de la Isla ordenó que en los alrededores de su palacio se mantuvieran los de madera, porque el ruido que hacía los carruajes y los caballos sobre el asfalto de piedra no lo dejaba dormir

Cuando prácticamente nadie en Cuba estudiaba los murciélagos, Gilberto Silva Taboada se interesó por ellos y su preservación. Fundador del Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, a sus 88 años, admira en esos mamíferos la capacidad de regenerar la vegetación y contribuir a eliminar las plagas en la agricultura.
