All are dotted nicely along the main boulevard, which also has a beautiful seaside section which becomes lively in the evening with families and romantic couples.

We stayed in two very different private casas, one at the most southern coastal tip with cozy hammocks and a beautiful restaurant terrace overlooking the bay. Only a shame that the secluded bay was too polluted – I was really looking forward to some swimming in the ocean

Next we moved to one of the villas along the central promenade, our most beautiful place yet. And as you can see, the living room will be very hard to top:

Overall a very pretty town with a lot of things to explore and a much more casual vibe than Havana.

Beautiful old-school theater:

Transportation works like the combi system in South America, only with a horse carriage instead of a van. The very nice ones are however reserved for tourist rides:

Thanks to our large time budget, we also spent time just doing “normal” things, like going to the screening of a Cuban movie in the local “cinema” …

…listening to live music and exploring local “supermarkets”. This week they apparently got a large container from Germany, as every store had tons of German Gurken, salad dressings and tomato sauces

On the other hand, the container with swimming pool supplies was apparently running late. All three swimming pools in town were closed due to lack of chlorine. Viva la revolucion!
