Holguín Province

Holguín Province is a region in eastern Cuba featuring diverse landscapes shaped by mountains and forested areas. The territory spans different types of land and includes several municipalities that extend from the coast into the interior.

The region was among the first places where Europeans arrived in the Western Hemisphere, shaping the subsequent development of the area. These early encounters set in motion a process that transformed the political and economic destiny of the territory.

The province is known for its local festivals and craft traditions, especially in smaller towns where people still practice traditional music and dance forms. Visitors can experience these living expressions in the communities and during local celebrations.

The area is served by an airport with international connections, making it easy to reach popular beach destinations and other attractions. Travel between the various municipalities is relatively straightforward once you arrive.

The region holds substantial deposits of valuable minerals that have been mined for decades and represent a major economic factor. This industry shapes the appearance of some communities and has brought international partnerships to the area.
