HOLGUIN TRAVEL PHOTOS

HOLGUIN

The city of Holguin in eastern Cuba doesn't revolve around tourism. It's a vibrant center where the locals get on with their everyday lives, as captured in our Holguin travel pictures. Tourists cravitate toward beach resorts like Las Brisas, Club Amigo, and Hotel Atlantico at Guardalavaca, 50 kilometers northeast of Holguin city. The rest of the province is seldom visited by foreigners, part of its appeal.

In the far east near the border with Guantanamo Province is the nickel mining town of Moa, where a nickel smelter named for the famous revolutionary Che Guevara pumps out its fair share of pollution. Cuba's current president, Fidel Castro, hails from Holguin Province.
