in Guardalavaca, Holguin, Cuba. |
The province of
Holguín treasures one of the most beautiful
places in Cuba's landscape:
Guardalavaca Beach. The most popular beach resort
in eastern Cuba, in northeastern cuba -near
Bariay, where Admiral Christopher Colombus first
set foot on Cuban soil. He described this area
as "the most beautiful land that human
eyes have ever seen", and this still holds
true. Today's scuba divers and other water sports
buffs love this beach both for its serenity
and for the amazing beauty of its seabed.
|
It is a paradise
with white sand and blue water that stretches
out along four kilometers of the northeastern
coast. A new road links it to the city of
Holguín. 65 kilometers far from "Frank
Pais" International Airport, City of
Holguín, it is also very close to
other colorful sites such as Banes and Gibara,
the latter being the only Cuban city which
was surrounded by walls beside Havana.

|
| Guardalavaca
covers a 1200 mt long- bank, formed by shell-like
beaches, intimate and frequently improved
by enormous cliffs. All Inclusive hotels
like Brisas Guardalavaca, Club Amigo Guardalavaca,
Paradisus Rio de Oro, Playa Costa Verde
and Sol Rio De Luna and Mares Resort all
provide high standards of facilities and
service. |
|
This is the kind of place where you can
put all the pressure and stress of modern
living on hold. Just stretch out on the
glorious white sand beach and listen to
the palms gently swaying in the breeze.
If you should get the urge to do something,
you can try and talk yourself out of it.
Or you can work off a bit of energy with
some watersports. |

Stories about the
origin of its name say that by the end of the
XIX century, neighbors from the town of Banes
used to take a bath at a beautiful sandy cove
known as Estero de la Piedra. Close to it, there
was a place the mambises (Cuban independence fighters)
used as grazing land for their animals, during
the wars for independence against Spain. These
animals were either used to fight with or as a
source of nourishment.
In order to enter the place, they had to use a
password: Guarda la Vaca (Hide the Cow). At the
end of the Independence War, the people from Banes
and other towns continued visiting Estero de la
Piedra and so it grew and became known as Guardalavaca. |
