Sancti Spiritus City:
It has a fuller history, being another of Velazquez's original
townships. From the town's pleasant main square wander two blocks
south to the Parroquial Mayor, a venerable yellow towered church
whose early 16th-century origins make it the country's oldest, and
across to the nearby Museo de Arte Colonial.
Trinidad:
The best-preserved colonial city in Cuba, in the shadow of the
Escambray mountains, Trinidad was not even linked by road to the
rest of the country until the 1950s.
Declared a national monument by the Cuban government this city is
very much as it was four centuries ago, the beauty of its baroque
architecture and cobblestones squares harking back to a bygone era
when Trinidad was a key player in the Caribbean slave trade.
There are many interesting things to see (e.g Guamuhaya
Archaeological Museum, Plaza Mayor, Church of Santa Ana, Calle Simon
Bolivar....) but the most impressive of all Trinidad's many museums
is Trinidad Municipal Museum and a visit to the Taller Alfarero, a
large ceramics workshop where traditional techniques are still used
is also worthwhile
