This picture shows the view over the stunning Valle de Viñales which is located in the west of Cuba. It has a very fertile soil and the best Cuban tobacco is grown there. The small rocks are called Mogotes and are up to 400 m high.
Remedios is one of the oldest cities in Cuba. It is located five kilometers from the northern coast. With it’s about 45,000 habitants Remedios is a sleepy and quiet place with lots of old lovely colonial buildings. Lots of them haven’t see a new paint for decades, but I really like their grubby charms.
The so called Valle de Ingenios is a very fertile valley which was used to cultivate sugar cane in former times. The landscape is overwhelming.
The second picture shows a sugar mill which was used to squeeze out the juice from the sugar cane.
The third picture shows a big tower that was used to keep the slaves, which were working on the sugar fields, under surveillance. Nowadays it’s a tourist point which offers a beautiful view over the valley.
