Santa Clara holidays
Situated in the central region of the island, the lively provincial town of Santa Clara is famous for its connection with Che Guevara, whose attack on a Batista troop train in December 1958 marked a turning point in the Cuban revolution. Today the city houses the Che Guevara Memorial, featuring a mausoleum and museum, as well as the preserved site of the derailed armoured train. In the centre of town lies the vibrant town plaza, Parque Vidal, surrounded by a mix of colonial and neo-colonial buildings, including the Decorative Arts Museum and the José Martí Library.

In Search of Che! … exploring Cuba
Eleni Oraia writes about her trip to Cuba, an adventure she had dreamed of since the 1960's.
Read more"We thoroughly enjoyed our visits to Havana and Trinidad. Trinidad in particular was small and colourful with lots of music and good restaurants. We had a dance at our morning coffee/cocktail stop which was fun and enjoyable. The thing we will remember most about our trip to Cuba was the music everywhere at all times and of course the cocktails!"
