Discover the real beauty of Cuba.
Cienfuegos
Many consider Cienfuegos, and most of all, its capital, as one of the most beautiful in the country. No wonder they call the city ¨The Perl of the South¨. French Louis Clouet founded the city in 1819, and name it Fernandina de Jagua. Cienfuegos has beautiful neoclassic and eclectic buildings. Its Historical Center, declared heritage by Unesco World Heritage Site in 2005, is consider a model of 19th century urban planning in Cuba and the Caribbean. One of the main fortresses in the island during colonial times was built here in 1745 for the defense of the city against pirates.
Sites of interest:
Jagua fortress: For safeguarding the area, Spain built a stonework fortress at the bay´s entrance. Considered one of the most important fortress founded in the island.

There are different salsa rhythm styles. La Salsa del barrio (Salsa neighborhood rhythm) ,la romantica (romantic) la balada, (ballad) la salsa erotica, (erotic) La salsa Cumbia (from Colombia) and a new Cuban style LaTimba which one is more complicated to dance. It would be a great experience to try it in Cuba!
