Top 9 Sights & Landmarks in Holguin, Holguin Province

April 17, 2022 Nobuko Falco

Set in rugged, mountainous territory in the east, Cuba's fourth largest city is known as the City of Parks. Columbus called the area "the most beautiful land eyes have ever seen" and much of the surrounding area hasn't changed. Officially called San Isidro de Holguin, the city's elegant plazas, scatter of colonial buildings and few museums make for a pleasant daytrip. More wonders lie offshore. Swim with dolphins in Bahia de Naranjo Nature Park. Dive to sites off Playa Esmeralda and Guardalavaca.

Part of a day trip to Holguin, the view from the top is SPECTACULAR. If you have the opportunity to go up there, don't pass it up...Holguin is Cuba's third largest city and you get a prime view of Cuban-urban sprawl!!!
