That excellent site close by
the Caribbean sea, with a backdrop of mountains and terrain
which determined that none of the city's street would be absolutely
level is the setting of one of the most beautiful and joyous
of Cuba's cities, filled with a mixture of architectural styles
which run from the baroque to the neoclassical.
July is carnival time in Santiago de Cuba, and its carnivals
are the most spectacular ones in the country just as it rum
is the most popular.
