If you
have one week or two front you , do not fail you to explore
one of the most diversified areas country. In more of benefitting
from splendid mountainous landscapes, the provinces of Las
Villas have pleasant beaches as well as charming colonial
cities.
During
the way towards the east, you will meet Cienfuegos, capital
of the province of the same name, which has many attractions
and a past rich in history. The principal economic activity
of this province is the sugar production, but one cultivates
there also the tobacco and the coffee in the mountainous
zones. The sinuous road which leads of Cienfuegos to Trinidad
borders the mountains of Escambray, which are drawn up,
majestic, at the horizon. The landscapes appear superb and,
in clear weather, you will have sorrow to resist the call
of the mountains. Trinidad is in the province of Sancti
Spíritus, where lived Taïnos formerly, before
being exterminated by the Spaniards. The economy of the
area is dominated by the culture of the cane with sugar.
The arrival with Trinidad, dissimulated with the foot of
Escambray, will irremediably plunge you in the atmosphere
of the Spanish colonial time. The city also offers excellent
museums, good restaurants and an animated night life.
