ARTS WEEKLY/ARCHITECTURE-CUBA:
Camagüey,
the Undiscovered City
Narrow alleyways, colonial
houses with tiled roofs and
tree-filled inner courtyards,
along with fascinating local
legends make Camagüey one of the
most attractive destinations in
Cuba - and one of the most sadly
overlooked by the mainstream
tourism industry.
The capital of the central Cuban
province of the same name, some
500 kilometres east of Havana,
is little more than a stopover
for groups of tourists headed to
the nearby beaches.
When it comes to choosing a
place to go or to recommend to
visitors, Cubans usually opt for
such major tourist destinations
as the picturesque colonial city
of Trinidad, the stunning
natural scenery of Pinar del Río,
or the world-class beach resort
of Varadero.
