Ben Howe's video: Gibara Cuba A Travel Guide

Gibara is a sleepy town on the north coast of Cuba, Holguin province. More here https://tinyurl.com/ya3qeza2 Located on the entrance to a small harbour, the settlement is surrounded on three sides by water. To the south, distant low green limestone hills rise above the glassy inlet. On the ocean coast, small waves break on a narrow sandy beach. Apparently, when Christopher Columbus landed near here, he commented: “it is the most beautiful land that human eyes saw.” Aside from an annual Film Festival, Gibara is a sleepy and forgotten backwater. Slumbering in baking Carribean sun, the dusty grid of streets and run down plazas are mostly deserted. The architecture dates from not long after the town was founded, in 1817. Many buildings are dilapidated, presumably collapsed following one of the significant cyclones that hit. Others are beautifully restored, painted bright, in the colours that Cuba knows how to do so well. Few buildings are modern or deviate from the old local Spanish style.
