Cienfuegos
Cienfuegos on Cuba’s south coast is a pleasant colonial gem (with pockets that look distinctly like 1950s Floridian suburbia) on a splendid bay where dolphins frolic (we can arrange for you to swim with them if you like). Its private restaurants, or paladares, are known for their seafood, and other attractions are the magical Botanical Gardens, and the old fashioned beauty of its facades (don’t miss the beautiful Catedral de la PurÃsma Concepción). Its marina is also the embarkation point for many catamaran excursions to the southern keys near Cayo Largo. Other than that, there is not a lot else to do but soak up the pleasant provincial atmosphere.
On the Paseo del Prado, the longest street in Cuba, people-watching and ice cream consumption seems to be the main event. Cienfuegos was settled late for Cuba in 1819, so streets are spacious and civilised. It remains old fashioned and laid back, and horse drawn carriage seems the most common form of transport. An American planter Edwin Atkins created the Botanical Gardens, in the outskirts of town, in the early 1900s with the help of Harvard professors Oakes Ames and George Goodale. These days they are little visited and the guides are keen to show you their little-visited Eden of more than 2,000 species of tropical plants, which you are likely to have all to yourself.
