Cayo Coco HistoryTo north of province of Blind person of Avila exists rosary of islands, small barren islands and keys that could well be described like terrenales paradises, so is thus, that its unusual beauty captivated the Spaniards that arrived until her between 1513 and 1514 and that Diego Velasquez decided to baptize it with the name of Gardens of the King, in honor to Fernando the Catholic. This destiny enough less well-known than other zones of the island, like Varadero or Long Cayo, did not begin to be operated by the tourism until year 1990 when wagon half was constructed on the sea, half on the salt marshes, that facilitated the transit and the exploration of this true natural sanctuary of flora and fauna, whose access until that moment was by sea. This explains why in this zone establishments nor towns do not exist. Cayo Coco is witness of the unforgettable days of fishing of the North American writer, Nobel prize de Literatura Ernest Hemingway. |
