Gibara, Cuba. A Travel Guide
Gibara is a sleepy town on the north coast of Cuba, Holguin province. More here
Located on the entrance to a small harbour, the settlement is surrounded on three sides by water. To the south, distant low green limestone hills rise above the glassy inlet. On the ocean coast, small waves break on a narrow sandy beach. Apparently, when Christopher Columbus landed near here, he commented: “it is the most beautiful land that human eyes saw.”
Aside from an annual Film Festival, Gibara is a sleepy and forgotten backwater. Slumbering in baking Carribean sun, the dusty grid of streets and run down plazas are mostly deserted. The architecture dates from not long after the town was founded, in 1817. Many buildings are dilapidated, presumably collapsed following one of the significant cyclones that hit. Others are beautifully restored, painted bright, in the colours that Cuba knows how to do so well. Few buildings are modern or deviate from the old local Spanish style.
Gibara, nuevo destino turístico de Cuba
Ciudad pesquera y orgullosa, Gibara esta llena de carácter. Le llaman la Villa Blanca y es de estos lugares que no se alcanzan a conocer en un día. La Bahía se presenta imponente entre montañas que marcan el horizonte.
Al igual que Holguín el parque principal se llama Calixto García. En centro de este se levanta triunfal una versión gibareña de la Estatua de la Libertad

Holguín Gibara Cuba
Gibara, la villa blanca de los cangrejos, mítica por su ambiente ribereño, colonial y muy acogedor anualmente celebra el Festival Internacional de Cine Pobre.

Todo un regalo es la cinematografía de Holguín en diversos debates, conferencias y exhibiciones de obras en franca conjunción con los valores coloniales de la villa, entre ellos, el Museo de Ambiente Colonial Cubano y la Batería Fernando VII, baluarte del sistema edificado contra corsarios y piratas.

Top Things to do in Holguin, Cuba
When Christopher Columbus landed in Holguin Cuba in 1492, he declared it “the most beautiful land human eyes had ever seen” I think he was on to something, the beaches are a dream, the people are warm and friendly, and the sunsets alone make you wish you could stay a few more days. And did I mention the mangos?! They smell so fresh and sweet.
You have to experience the Holguin province and when you do check out these top things:
1. Downtown Holguin – known as the city of parks. They are squares and meeting places for the locals. The best way to go from park to park is by bici taxis. Be sure to see Parque Calixto Garcia where you can visit a local museum Casa Consistorial. Sharing the roads with classic cars is pretty incredible.
2. Next head a bit outside of town to meet Vichi, a farmer who’s father and grandfather passed on the tradition of making a stable of Cuban cuisine Cassava bread which comes from the root of the Cassava plant.
3. Check out some of the artists who call Holguin home. Luis Silva is a local artist who collects scrap metal from closed down factories and sugar mills to make his art. His installations appear throughout Cuba especially at hotels and galleries in Holguin.
At Cuadernos Papiro you’ll meet Boris who’s passion is making beautiful paper from recycled scraps. One of my favorite stops was at the Fabrica de Organo, the only mechanical organ factory in Cuba and Latin America. The organs were an attraction at carnivals and large events all over Cuba. There you’ll Antonio Enrique who has been playing the organ for the last 40 years. The Neon Theater is another must see.
4. A short 45 minute drive will get you to Gibara. A pretty special place right by the sea. Fishermen use only their hands and nets to fish.
Since 1999 Cuba Travel Services has been offering full service travel arrangements to individuals groups, families, educators, students and other organizations.
