City Tour "Trinidad"

Description

Trinidad, one of the most beautiful, historic and best preserved cities in Cuba, was one of the first Villas founded by the Spaniards and declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. We propose a tour through its cobblestone streets full of tradition and history. You will feel and live the experience of being in a city stopped by time, full of patrimonial, historical and cultural values that reveal epochs, customs and traditions.

Program

• Start at the Model of the City, located at the intersections of Colón and Maceo streets. Taking into account that Trinidad is a city whose streets are asymmetrical customers will receive a brief explanation on the location of the village within our island, the history of the building where the model is located and will also be emphasized to show the route to follow.
• Transfer walking by the Maceo street (Gutiérrez) until) Piro Guinart (Boca) where we will turn right and go to the foundation square (Plaza del Jigüe) that is located in the interceptions of the Piro Guinart (Boca) and Rubén Martínez Villena (Real del Jigüe) streets. During this tour will be explained aspects related to the predominant architecture in the town, conservation of buildings, customs of the first inhabitants until the current, socio-cultural centers.
• In Plaza del Jigüe, reference will be made to the foundation of the town, as well as to the first street that Trinidad (Real del Jigüe) had, all at the foot of the tree of the same name. From here you will visit the "Canchánchara", a tavern where you can taste the typical drink of the city and that has the same name, also will be described both the origin and composition of the drink, as well as the history of the place.
• Tour through the "Calle Real del Jigüe" until it is intercepted by Simón Bolívar (Desengaño), just where the Plaza Mayor is located, where its history will be described, as well as that of the surrounding buildings. Here we suggest a visit to one of the museums included in the tour.
• Free time to visit some of the cultural centers of the historical center (Casa de la Música, Casa de la Trova, Palenque de los Congos Reales); all of them located very close to the Plaza Mayor.
