Sagua la Grande Attractions

Situated on the river of the same name, Sagua la Grande is a sleepy town with a rich history. Life moves at a slower pace on the North Coast and this town is no exception. The visitor may be surprised to see Colonial buildings similar to those in Centro Habana crumbling as they finally succumb to the warm, moist tropical air of Cuba. That said, several major buildings in Sagua la Grande have been restored and are worth a look. They include the Railway station and the Cathedral on the main square.

The most famous son of Sagua la Grande is Joaquin Albarren, whose work in endoscopy and urology has saved many lives.
