Cienfuegos
a city in the Caribbean, on the central southern coast of
Cuba, with one of the largest and cleanest bays in the Caribbean.
It is also known as the Pearl of the South. Beautiful palaces,
parks, theaters, churches and other old buildings, surrounding
quaint city squares, and pervaded everywhere by the closeness
of the sea.
To the east, only a short distance from the lighthouse that
marks the access channel to the hay, you'll find the Faro
de Luna Diving Center, which, together with the hotel
with the same name, is a must for lovers of the underwater
world.
