HolguÃn has some of the richest scenery in Cuba. High mountains, fertile plains and fine-sand beaches alternate in the landscape of this province. It was in this area where Christopher Colombus landed Bariay.
Beaches in HolguÃn are among the most picturesque in the Caribbean. They are surrounded by vegetation, whose intense green color creates a contrast with the white golden tone of the sand and the blue color of the sea.
There is a wide variety of attractions in HolguÃn. The capital city and Gibara are worth visiting, as well as Banes, BahÃa de Naranjo, Cayo SaetÃa and Pinares de MayarÃ.
HolguÃn is located in the most septentrional part of Eastern Cuba, between Las Tunas and Guantanamo. To the south it has Granma and Santiago de Cuba.
