About Cuba - Holguin
It’s been more than 500 years since explorer Christopher Columbus fell under Holguin’s spell and this pretty province continues to woo travellers. Off the ‘all roads to Havana’’ mojito-fuelled tourist trail, this tropical spot has its share of Cuban clichés. You’ll find flash Grease-inspired cars, a bevy of revolutionary monuments and, of course, all those photo album-friendly beaches made for sun bathing. But, Holguin’s real magic is in its laid-back character and sleepy charm.
