Set a little bit outside Santa Clara, the Ché monument is very striking. There is a garden a little behind it honouring fallen revolutionary comrades. The mausoleum underneath the statue is very peaceful, and the small museum about Ché has some really interesting photos of him, and his upbringing.

Our tour guide Dianaleis recommended we come to El Mejunje after our dinner to enjoy this vibrant place. I said to her - are you sure? We are a fifty/sixty something straight couple- won’t we look out of place? She said ‘not at all’ and she was right. We didn’t want to wait for the show at 10pm so came round to the bar area. Pulled up 2 chairs and drank great Cuba Libre’s at the bar. The club was opened I believe in 1984 and it’s the LGBT place in Santa Clara. Staff made us so welcome. It was a great place to sit and people watch with great music playing in the background. There’s an entrance fee to go see the nightly show (which is understandable) and it’s free to go in the other side where there is a bar and seating. If you are in Santa Clara just go! It’s not far from the main square and it’s a great atmosphere.

This was an excellent 30 min visit for 1 CUC each. What a bargain as included a guide! Worth a visit as beautiful inside with lots of history.

And, values that are still held in Cuba today. The intricate details to be found all over the statue mirror the life-story of this very clever man who was killed fighting for his beliefs. Far more moving and iconic than the very large statue at the mausoleum.

Beautiful church, with a huge gilt altar. Lots of history with very knowledgable guide who can handle any questions in English, French or Spanish.

This small mountain – about 200 meters at its highest point – gained notoriety during and after the Cuban Revolution for it was the headquarters of Comandante Che Guevara armed forces. The smallest peak holds the name of Capiro and next to it are the twin peaks known as Dos Hermanas (Two sisters). A monument commemorating the battle was placed at the top of the smallest peak; it sits on a green marble base that symbolizes the unity of the Cuban nation; the trenches dug during the battle for control of the city of Santa Clara can be seen around the monument and form part of it. It was declared National Historic Site in 1990 along with that of the derailment of the armoured train (El tren Blindado). The natural surroundings house a plantation of Tamarind, the natural tree of Santa Clara, also helps to contain the erosion of the slopes. A great way to exercise climbing up to the top of the hill, my advice it;s less challenging to walk on the grass than the steps. There’s a 360* degrees beautiful view of the city, the huge baseball Stadium down below and not to mis the sunset. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, carry mosquitoes repellent, especially late in the afternoon and wear dark clothes.

The beach at Cayo Santa Maria is awesome, it stretches for Kilometers where all the resorts are located, so the beach is similar at all places and its shared so you can walk along the beach through all the resorts. The best beach section though is the one located at the bay behind the sercotel Resort, its your dreams beach.

A place to come if you are interested in learning about the economic history of Cuba. The sugar production brought wealth to this area and the museum gives you some important pieces of information about how it happened. Nice guide and tasty welcome drink. They play a video ( they have it in several languages) to make you " tune in" at the beginning of the tour.
