Cuba - Holguin Province (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Holguín’s beauty was first spied by Christopher Columbus who, by most accounts, docked near Gibara in October 1492 and described the region’s broccoli-green forests and shapely coastal hills as the most beautiful land he had ever seen. These days, you’ll spot giant resort enclaves hugging the coast as often as pristine ecosystems.
