Description

️Visita Matanzas, a province in Cuba that you will fall in love with. Located on the north coast of Cuba, it emerged around its homonymous bay where 4 rivers drain. One of the oldest nicknames for Matanzas, Ciudad de los Puentes, was derived from the various engineering works carried out over time to save the rain currents. It was already known this way when in 1860 it was also called Athens of Cuba.
