They say that Christopher Columbus took his first step onto Cuba in Holguin, and whether that is true or not, the people here will fiercely defend that statement. This is the place where you will find the most intimate and picturesque beaches in Cuba, with warm turquoise waters and thick vegetation. Holguin is not just a town but an actual province as well, and many small towns make up this area. Most visitors here choose to spend their time snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, horseback riding and cycling. The city of Holguin is known for its beautiful parks, public squares and cultural centres. One of the unique Holguin attractions is Museo Indocubano Bani in Banes, which has an impressive collection of artefacts from pre-Columbian Cuban culture. Because Holguin is located in the south, it offers some of the warmest days during the winter season in the country. There are ten all-inclusive resorts to choose from, spread over six beaches, and whether you stay in one of the larger resorts or choose to stay in the actual town of Holguin, you won’t be disappointed.
