Santa Clara
Santa Clara is, without a doubt, Cuba's most idiosyncratic city. Like Trinidad and Cienfuegos, Santa Clara is a characteristic city that occupies an important place in the eventful Cuban history.

A young and artistic population
The population of Santa Clara is relatively young and likes to push the boundaries of the regime by organising various artistic and musical festivals, such as the annual rock festival and a fashion show for drag queens.

City of revolutionaries
Historically, the city is of great importance. In Santa Clara, the revolutionaries led by Che Guevara won the decisive battle against Batista's government army, after which the dictator fled the country. Interesting is the replica of the train that overpowered Che and his companions. It houses a museum where you can learn more about this decisive battle.

Visit the mausoleum and the museum
In this city are the remains of Che Guevara, who were brought here in 1997, thirty years after his death in Bolivia. The mausoleum and its museum are highly recommended if you want to learn more about the history of the country and about Che Guevara.
