Sancti Spíritus
Cuba
Founded in 1514, Sancti Spíritus is one of Cuba's oldest Spanish settlements, with a walkable centre of colonial-era buildings, cafés, and restaurants in the heart of the island. The Yayabo River runs through the city, and the surrounding terrain rises toward mountains with scenic viewpoints. As the provincial capital of central Cuba, it carries a substantial colonial record and draws independent travellers looking for a less-visited alternative to Trinidad or Havana.
