Spíritus breathes authenticity in each one of its
corners. A valuable urban historic center, declared a
national monument, denoting centuries of treasured tradition
in ample houses, churches, museums, old streets and walls
which invite the visitor to know up close customs and
way of life. Likewise, it shows important pages of the
life of illustrious people of national history such as

To
remain in Sancti Spíritus without knowing the Zaza
Dam, the biggest reservoir of fresh water in Latin America,
and without knowing the Negro River in the zone of Hanabanilla
and Topes
de Collantes where nature and man achieved a
harmony in order to favor health, is to leave behind more
than a motive to enjoy a full stay in an area where there
are offers of entertainment and caters to the taste of the
most varied preferences and age groups. One of the most liked
has to do with music as the land of Yayabo as well as what
is known of this province, is the capital of Trova (troubadour
music). Even now the songs resound in the balconies of women
loved (serenades) with the echo of the letters of Rafael Gómez
(also known as Teofilito), Sindo Garay, Pepe Sánchez,
Miguel Matamoros and Manuel Corona.
