"Paseo", or "Boulevar" is the colloquial name for Calle General Gacia, part of which is a pedestrian mall that extends eastward from Parque Cespedes for about 10 blocks. These days, there are an increasing number of stores that actually have items worth buying. There are two "Bazaaar" (flea market stores) on the south side that are worth checking out, where they sell everything from sandals to electric cable to wire a house. Unlike in the larger cities, such as La Habana and Santiago de Cuba, the local Cubans generally do not take too much of an interest in tourists and they leave you alone. They are took busy going about their daily lives.

I wouldn't suggest staying here but if you are in the region then well worth a quick visit. Like all of Cuba, even the smallest towns have beautiful central plazas and this place is no different. It's main claim to fame though is its association with the composer of the Cuban national anthem. There is a bust of him in the square together with the music and lyrics done in bronze. Very nice. There is also a lovely, old church just off the square. Certainly well worth a few photos.
