CAMAGUEY
Captivating Camaguey, Cuba's third largest city, stands on the wide central savanna halfway between Havana and Santiago de Cuba. Camaguey's well preserved old quarter is a winding maze of narrow streets and dead end roads designed to confuse marauding Caribbean pirates.
Camaguey is an important cultural center with many venues for the city's musicians, and for the visitor, numerous museums. Our Camaguey travel photos show some of the monumental stone churches which face the squares. Horse drawn carts and carriages rule the roadways, with cool colonial courtyards providing respite from the bustle and summer heat. The closest beach resort to the city of Camaguey is Playa Santa Lucia on the Atlantic Ocean to the northeast.
