In Céspedes Park, people of all ages meet and you can hear scraps of conversations and laughter everywhere. All kinds of initiatives are performed, like cultural, social or political, where a good number of people use to participate. Another very attractive activity that gathers to numerous public is the execution of the traditional danzon by musicians from other decade who still reminds a time in which those rhythms used to permeate the Cuban air. Structurally, the park has an ample square-tiled floor whose entry is in a wall with functional grilles that can be used as benches. Locals use to sit there and rest for a while of the intense heat from the Caribbean sun. On the other side, if you decide to opt for a stroll, the large garden is divided into four parcels through two narrow tracks strategically located, both in horizontal and vertical, that allows to comfortably the whole square. In the middle of the square, you can see a magnificent bust in bronze of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, the landowner who started in 1868 the struggle for the Cuban Independence.

Best square in Santiago de Cuba, also best WiFi signal we found in the whole of Cuba and we could actually download some podcasts on the signal. We spent a few afternoons siting in the Casa Grande terrace drinking slightly inflated crystal beer. Good place to people watch but a lot of beggars come round the park in the evening and some are quite persistent.

Beautifully kept and landscaped, this park is in the center of Bayamo. Steps away from the Casa de Cultura, shopping district and arts installation and Hotel Royalton. Everything in one scenic location! There is always music, wifi access, historic buildings, artists selling wares and a huge digital clock.

Der Hauptplatz von Santiago de Cuba mit der Basilika steht bei jeder Besichtigungstour auf der Agenda. Hier findet sich das Rathaus und das Gran Hotel. Die Häuser sind hübsch hergerichtet. Auch die Touristen-Information ist an diesem Platz ... aber nur sporadisch besetzt. Was lohnt sich: - von der Platzform der Basilika hat man - leicht erhöht - einen schönen Blick auf den Platz. - von der Dachterrasse des Gran Hotels blickt man über den Platz und die Stadt. Die Cola kostet da oben zwar 3 CUC aber für den Ausblick ... Was ist noch möglich: - Turmbesteigung der Basilika (1 CUC). - Besichtigung eines der ältesten Kolonialbauten Lateinamerikas (x CUC).

Each time I'm in this place, it's an experience of its own. Relaxing, nostalgic, fun and great for people watching. Be ware of peddlers asking for spare change or other favors.
