La proprietà — Casa Bayview
Casa Bayview is no prim resort — it’s a cheerful three-star with sea-facing balconies and a salt-sprayed patio where you drink Cuban rum at sunset. The lobby is a bright, tiled space with a ceiling fan turning lazily overhead, a small reception desk, and the murmur of guests swapping snorkel tips. It suits independent travellers who want reliable basics, a good location near Guardalavaca beach, and local character without the hotel bubble.
Cronache di Holguin
Holguín was founded in 1545 as San Isidoro de Holguín, one of the original Spanish settlements on Cuba’s eastern side. It grew modestly as a cattle and sugar hub, then boomed in the 19th century with coffee cultivation. Its historic centre is a grid of low-rise colonial buildings painted in warm ochres and blues, centred on Parque Calixto García. The city remains a cultural and transport gateway for eastern Cuba, known for its independent music scene and as the birthplace of Fidel Castro.
