Camaguey

Camagüey, also known as the city of clay jars, is the third largest Cuban city on the island of Cuba, located between Ciego de Ávila and Las Tunas. Camagüey is characteristic for its unique urban layout. Its labyrinthine streets are more reminiscent of a Moroccan medina than the gridded streets of the area. According to legend, the reason for the winding streets and the narrow and hidden alleys is the solution found to centuries of fighting against the pirates that attacked the city. This peculiar layout was developed to confuse invaders and protect residents. But the visitor will not only be able to find religious buildings but also places full of culture such as the Museum of San Juan de Dios, located in an old hospital, which will refresh us the history of Camagüey. During our visit to the city we cannot forget its beautiful squares and parks where you can enjoy a pleasant walk while we find historical monuments, the Plaza del Carmen or the Ignacio Agramonte Park are some of them. Nor to lose ourselves in its beautiful streets to discover the charm of its hidden corners.
