Santiago de Cuba, Revolutionary City
Dotted with a heroic revolutionary past, and located in a beautiful setting overlooking a bay at the foothill of the Sierra Maestra mountains, Santiago de Cuba, the country's second city, is a real pleasure to explore. Boasting a heavy history, this town is a testament of the Cuban traditional lifestyle, rocked to the rhythms of music, and of the political evolution of the country.
Santiago was founded by the Spanish in 1514, and was Cuba's capital between 1524 and 1549, as well as a a hub for the island's slave trade in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, Santiago is the only "Hero City" and considered as a bastion of nationalism, as the revolution originated in the city on July 26, 1953. It was also in Santiago that Fidel Castro accepted the surrender of Batitsta's army in 1959.
Strolling the streets of Santiago, the revolutionary past of the city is prominent as throughout the city, signs of the revolutionary fervor are still visible in the multitude of slogans and murals covering the buildings. As you enter the city, a gigantic board welcomes you proclaiming: "Rebelde Ayer, Hospitalaria Hoy, Heroico Siemprie" (Rebellious Yesterday, Hospitable Today, Heroic For Ever). The atmosphere of the city is filled with this glorious past just as its streets, with an intangible sense of pride and unity that you will find nowhere else in the country.
Santiago was the seat of the revolution from the beginning, with Castro's failed attack on the Moncada Barrakcs in 1953 which led to the founding of the 26th July Movement. Santiago was also the place of an uprising led by Frank Pais which took place in November 1956, only days before Castro and his compañeros landed at Las Coloradas aboard the Granma. Finally, it was from the balcony of the city's town hall that Castro announced the success of the Revolution in 1959. Hava
