    900 kms from Havana, is Cuba's
    second largest city. Its economic,
    cultural and social importance in
    Cuban history is unquestionable.
    Santiago is also the capital of the
    province with the same name.
    Surrounded by the green mountains
    of the Sierra Maestra range and the
