Remedios Travel Guide





The city of Remedios, one of the urban centers where more good it has conserved in Cuba the architecture and atmosphere of centuries XVIII and XIX, famous also by his parrandas, luck of traditional popular celebrations, is a place that deserves to visit itself and is good options of restaurants and paladares (the Cuban, but generally economic private restaurants), asi like of private houses where to lodge. Remedies are also an intermediate point to visit Key Santa Maria, of who dista near 75 km.

Remedios was declared National Monument in 1980, their history, their people, is the reflection of their historical evolution within which to multiple legend and traditions have been developed arrivals to our days. The irregularity of the streets constitutes a laberintico pregnant spectacle of surprises, whose shaded narrowness invites to walk underneath great eaves that they kindly protect of the solar intensity until behind the turns begins to be discovered the image of a seat that suddenly transports us to last and ancient remediana history. The legendary seat Jose Marti, once of the Parochial one and Isabel II, with its enormous flamboyanes flooded of red flowers, constitutes the urban cell first of the legendary city and place from where it divided the entangled urban plot with his irregular grids that already conformed the Urban Historical Center from the primicias of distant century XVIII in which most valuable demonstrative constructions of this time like the house of the Real Lieutenant can be observed today, the one of the Red family, the one of the Lobaton and Pangua, among others. In this attractive seat the silhouettes of the bell towers of Parochial the Greater of San Juan Baptist and the one of the Church of the Buenviaje stand out, located to both sides of the same one, as exceptional case in the country.

The city is the integrating element of the will of the man, from its foundation and in each one of the moments and stages of its history. In the same one all the human activities are contained. The image of the City of San Juan of the Remedies is perceived through its footpaths. Each place is an explanatory parenthesis of its history. Each district is sample of its evolution and blossoming or moments of economic depression. The colonial architecture, is a landmark that marks to the time and the different historical periods. Towards the center heart and primitive marrow the ample free vestibules with form abound with runners; great forged iron large windows, grates conopiales, covers and great eaves supported on peculiar wood braces.
