Images of the Day
Course of the Day: 229 km
Excellent night and it was with difficulty that we rise at 5am. Great breakfast, then it is always with great emotion that we leave our guests, who will be 4 for that our stay in Santiago is going well. Our taxi is there and at 6:30, we arrive at the bus terminal. We reserve our course already Wednesday night buses, given the number of tourists in backpacks. And at the appointed hour, the bus starts. We leave Santiago for agricultural hills and very toward Guantanamo. The USA will lease since 1902 under international agreements, the bay, or 121 square kilometers, two airfields and 6000 military personnel and their families live in complete self-sufficiency. Only a few Cubans can work there. Hippodrome, cinemas, sports grounds, golf courses to compensate for homesick Americans. One of the best harbors in the world because of its size and depth. Cubans wait patiently for 2033, dates from the end of the lease, to recover this small piece of their territory. Fidel Castro refused each year to collect the annual rental price or $ 4,085. The road we travel is fairly recent, because Baracoa was connected only by sea or air until 1960. The bus driver knows many people and it is an opportunity for regular stops for a little kiss, deliver packages or buy bunches of bananas. We drive along the coast and the scenery is breathtaking, turquoise water between cactus and rugged coastline. 2 French, which cover a part of Cuba cycling, are filed with a beautiful beach. Good luck as we begin the ascent to the Sierra Del Plurial, 55 miles to the side of a mountain, a magnificent vegetation and we dive to Baracoa, the first city of Spain, early history of the colonization of Cuba in 1512. the city is spread along the long coastline. The terminal is at the end of Malicon the local Croisette. We are well intended and take the opportunity to book the return on Wednesday. bicycles a taxi takes us a little outside the center to a house fairly recently. the room is on the first floor Comfortable room. The time to install and we start to discover this first English colony in the country. As elsewhere, many ruins, the coast has suffered a tropical storm 2 years ago and many houses were destroyed, some are being rebuilt. Many sites, water and cathedral under construction. We turn next to an internet point to put the blog up to date and wonder at the farthest point of the territory, it works well. I will try tomorrow to put some pictures online. We climb the highest point of the city for a beautiful view over the city, the sea and the Sierra and we continue with a concert music, mojitos and salsa on the menu. Back to the casa for a meal of camarones fresh, delicious. Tomorrow, the discovery of Playa Maguana
