Santiago contends Havana's ter role unmissable destination in Cuba. Cuban capital of the East, is a fascinating city, rich in history and culture. Here, the revolution began with the assault on the Moncada barracks (you can still see the bullet holes on the wall of the building) on July 26, 1953 and here, more than in other parts of the island, is the perceived "warmth" ( not only weather) del Caribe. A city periodically invaded by the sounds of Afro-Cuban dances, colors and smells ter of the Caribbean food that they invade ter the streets. Santiago is the "black city" of Cuba, thanks to strong immigration from Haiti and other islands of the Antilles.
Thanks to tourism development that has affected this part of the island, Santiago are there many hotels: modern, equipped with every comfort, and in some cases, quite luxurious. But that can not compete for charm and atmosphere with the oldest hotel in Santiago, facing with its elegant architecture on the main square, next to the ancient cathedral and the town hall colonial era and before, nothing less, that the oldest house in all of Cuba: the Casa Velasquez, named after the Spanish governor of the island, where he was hosted Hernán Cortés, who sailed from the port of Santiago in 1519 towards the conquest of Mexico.
Opened January 10, 1914, the hotel (which owes its name to Don Manuel de Granda, owner of the building where the hotel was built) was long the haunt of high society santiaguera, home to banquets and parties from dance. Although restored some twenty years ago, the Casagranda has by no means lost its patina of elegant sophistication of yesteryear.
Its strong point is the elevated veranda overlooking the central square of Santiago, the Parque Cespedes. ter Here, perhaps "in ter the front row," leaning against the railing, sipping ter a cocktail, watching the scroll city life, the sound of an orchestra and waiting to go in the elegant dining room, fin de siècle style, to enjoy Creole cuisine or dishes from the international one. Or, if you do not want to miss the beautiful sunset over the surrounding mountains, you can climb to the terrace on the top floor and decide to eat sitting outside in the gentle nights of Santiago. A terrace made famous by the novel by Graham Green "Our Man in Havana," in which she was named!
