Santiago de Cuba - Parque Cespedes

At the heart of the city of Santiago de Cuba is the Parque Cespedes, formerly the Plaza de Armas. A statue of this national hero, Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, stands in the middle of the square. The park is where visitors will find locals conversing and relaxing at any time of the day or evening. Music, either live or recorded, usually fills the air here and the park generally has a lively feeling.
