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.
Top things to do in Camaguey, Cuba
Heading to Camaguey? It’s one of my favorite stops in Cuba. The city’s labyrinth of charming streets may not be the easiest to navigate but whichever direction you turn you’ll be treated to something special. Beautiful squares, art galleries, antique car shows, and creativity around every corner.
Art lovers should spend the day cruising around to the many galleries in town. Be sure to stop by and see Pepe Gutierrez, a leather sculpture who spent 30 years perfecting his craft.
Next visit Martha Jimenez, one of the most important contemporary Cuban artists who has more than 250 exhibitions worldwide. Then there’s the playful and somewhat provocative creations of Magdiel.
Tinajones are the local symbol of Camaguey, they were used to hold rain water before the aqueducts were built. The Casanova family is famous tinajone makers.
Take a drive to the countryside and visit King Ranch. At one time King Ranch was the largest ranch in the United States. One of their first international ventures was here in Cuba where their culture is still alive and well.
A short horse ride away will lead you to El Cafetal, you can visit the local school in this small village and enjoy some time with the locals.
Back in the city of Camaguey; visit the award winning Arlequin dance group. It’s an after school program where the kids have become pros in son, mambo and salsa to name a few.
The Camagüey Valet is one of the 2 most prestigious companies in Cuba and they practice here on the grounds of an 80 year old estate in the center of town. A peak inside the workshop shows hand sown costumes and point shoes made right on the property.
For dinner, head to one of the most beautiful squares in the city.
For a romantic night, have dinner at paladar Restaurante 1800.
Just outside the restaurant the club “Autos Clasicos” or Classic Cars meets to show off their original classic cars on Plaza San Juan de Dios. You can also catch a ride home if you’d like and I would definitely recommend it.

Carnival Cruises Could Be Headed to Cuba Soon
Carnival Corp. is planning “social impact” cruises to Cuba, as soon as the island nation gives the green light.
The trips technically won’t constitute tourism, but will operate under existing U.S. Treasury guidelines that permit cultural and humanitarian exchanges with Cuba.
U.S. travelers can sign up for a place on one of the trips with a $600 deposit. Ultimately, the trip will cost $2,990 per person with taxes and other fees not included. Politico says beginning in May 2016, Carnival plans to run biweekly, seven-night “people-to-people” vacations to Cuba on the company’s 710-passenger Adonia ship. Aaccording to a statement, the cruises will offer “cultural, artistic, faith-based and humanitarian exchanges between American and Cuban citizens.” The company is still awaiting final approval from the Cuban government.

Mes pieds et chevilles enflés, ou remplis d'eau à cause de la mauvaise circulation de la vieille loca chica. On dirait du jello sous ma peau, les gros pieds tout maganés. Marcher dans le sable et me coucher sur le dos dans l'océan, ça fait du bien :)
