Considered one
of the most beautiful cities in Cuba, it's well known by cubans as the city with
the warmest and most hospital people in the country, and much cheaper then the
capital La Havana. Santiago de Cuba is located near the southern most point on
the island. Full of history, much of Cuba's revolutionary past started here. It
is also home to many beautiful sights and places to visit. It is also an area
rich in natural resources from sugar to copper. With a population around one million,
Santiago is Cuba's second largest city. Founded in 1515, its first mayor was the
Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes. This is where he began his conquest of South
America.
Surrounded
by impressive mountains that link the Sierra Maestra to the sea, Santiago is
a city of hills and inclined streets, with numerous places of tourist interest
and a history linked to struggles for national independence. It is also a city
that brings together people of African and Spanish origin, along with descendants
of emigrés from the French West Indies. Thus Santiago is a veritable
melting pot whose colorful identify is an outgrowth of its rich human heritage.
