Nearby, about 13 kilometers away, the city is the National Park La Demajagua, where in October 1868 the fight against Spanish colonialism began. It was in a farm with a small ingenuity, that for the date of the beginning of the war belonged to the lawyer Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, known in Cuba as the Father of the Homeland. It is a site venerated by Cubans.
The authentic Cuban son, the powerful root of the music of the island, is said to have been born here. There abound in the city the ensembles that preserve this melody, sensual and rhythmic, and it is not unusual to see them in different formats when you walk through its streets, or you enter one of its bars.
