Cienfuegos is the hometown of my father and my grandmother, so it’s really important that all three of us get to visit before we die.

Quiet little town by Andrea Campi

OK, maybe it’s not the wildest place in the world (or in Cuba), but if you want to spend a few quiet days enjoying the sun, the beach and the people, than Cienfuegos is worth a visit. Plus, it’s a short drive from Bay of Pigs, with its historical places of interest but also its wonderful coast, a snorkeling heaven.

If you want to go there, I might help you find accomodations.

The French influence continued through most of the city's history, particularly throughout the 19th century, when Cienfuegos became a major shipping point for sugar, tobacco, and coffee. As trade with the United States grew in importance, Cienfuegos lost some of its strategic importance to the northern ports of Havana and Matanzas. (read article)
