There is no tergiverser, Gibara deserves a stop. The port of Gibara founded in the early th century is reminiscent of the small villages on the Mediterranean coast. Moreover, the Cubans called her the «white city» because of the clarity that came out as soon as the sun points to the end of his nose. Planted 22 000 kilometres north of Holguín, this coastal town with a population of has a crazy stamp. As a real open-air museum. The stage is all the more interesting since travel agencies and other tour operators almost never include it in their routes, even though the notoriety of the Festival internacional del Cine Pobre (literally «poor») is increasing. In short, this small corner of Cuba does not attract directors for nothing, always looking for the beautiful picture and the beautiful framework. With its relatively agitées waters, its pleasant squares, its colonial houses, outmoded as you like and its hills in background (the Silla) a little similar to the mogotes in Viñales, Gibara has to seduce. On the cake, the reception of the inhabitants is certainly one of the most warm in the country. Historically, it is here that Christopher Columbus would have landed for the first time on the island on 28 October 1492. But the quarrel with Baracoa, a locality of the extreme south-east by claiming paternity, is not settled.
