Manzanillo De Cuba Vacations

Our Opinion of Manzanillo De Cuba

Granma province is renowned for its battles and its natural gifts. High in the breathtaking Sierra Maestra Mountains, Fidel Castro conquered Batista's dictatorship. Down in the valley, the longest river in Cuba irrigates the fertile lands. And the towns echo with memories of slaves, conquistadors and peasants.

Named after the boat that Fidel Castro used in his revolution, Granma Province is in a great valley crossed by the Cauto River and framed by the magnificent Sierra Maestra Mountains on the edge of the island's rugged Caribbean shore. These mountains provided shelter for Castro's revolutionaries.
