Trinidad Holidays Overview
A guide to holidays in Trinidad - One of the most visited towns in Cuba, Trinidad
maintains a charming colonial atmosphere with its uneven cobbled
streets, quiet plazas, churches, red tiled roofs, wooden shutters
and wrought-iron grilles. Bicycles and horse-drawn carts bump along
streets lined with untidy pastel-coloured houses, where open doors
afford brief views of folk on rocking chairs and wooden birdcages,
and the strains of salsa music drift out from cool courtyards where
the intricate steps of the dance are practiced.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988, Trinidad
has thankfully escaped the modern tourist infrastructure and large
hotels usually accorded a popular destination and retains its
welcoming and tranquil atmosphere. Surrounded by sugarcane
plantations, and situated between the Topes de Collantes mountains
and the Caribbean Sea, Trinidad's location also provides easy
access to the beach, mountains and the beautiful surrounding
countryside, where vestiges from the 18th and 19th centuries in the
Valle de los Ingenios (Valley of the Sugar Mills) testify to a time
of prosperity during the sugarcane boom.
