Santiago de Cuba
The fortress dominates the entrance to Santiago Bay. Also to be discovered: Basilica of El Cobre and Cemetery Santa Ifigenia.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: Cyclonic season and connections between islands to check before booking. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
