Guanabacoa Free Tour

Registered on November 27, 2020

Hello, I live 20 km from Havana in a magical town called Guanabacoa, a place full of stories and legends, considered a National Monument as the capital. For years I participated in projects that worked on its cultural and patrimonial rescue, and because of this I have learned a lot about its history, much of it relevant to the history of Cuba in its different stages. Many times as a hobby I invited my friends to get to know her a little more and they were amazed, and I have decided to share my knowledge with people from other parts of the world. I am friendly and I also like to listen and share experiences.

Tour description

The tour begins in the Central Park of Guanabacoa, where I will tell you about the origins of Guanabacoa, its first inhabitants and I will tell you the story of how the capital of Cuba was for months. Walking down Martí Street, I will show you the Municipal Museum, where the best museum collection of Afro-Cuban themes can be found, and I will tell you a little about the connotation of African religions in my town. We will visit the home of Francisco Viondi, where Martí lived, and I will tell you the anecdotes of our National Hero in Guanabacoa. We will surround the group of the Escolapios, a Catholic institution that introduced the Normal Schools in Cuba, and where several personalities of Cuban politics and culture were formed. We will arrive at the Parque de la Cotorra, a place of special beauty and we will go up to the Loma de la Cruz, where the most beautiful natural viewpoint in Havana is located, which reveals a fairly wide social landscape and I will tell you the details of the taking of La Havana for the English.
