Díaz Canel heads governmental visit to Guantanamo
['Please Enter Your Name Here']
Date: None
The purpose is to connect the national government with local management in the territories and hold exchanges with authorities of the province and the population, in an eminently agricultural enclave, the country’s second largest coffee producer, where more than half a million people live.
The visit is part of a work system where collective leadership prevails and has as a background to other provinces of the country: Havana, Santiago de Cuba, Granma, Holguín, Camagüey, Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Matanzas, Artemisa and Pinar del Río.
Some geographical data of the province of Guantánamo:
It is the easternmost of Cuba and has a surface area of 6 186.2 km², which represents 5.58% of the surface of the entire country.
It limits to the north with Holguín province and the Atlantic Ocean, to the south with the Caribbean Sea, to the east with the Paso de los Vientos, which separates the Island of Cuba with the Republic of Haiti, and to the west with the province of Santiago de Cuba.
The mountainous area covers 75% of the Guantanamo territory, where the Sagua – Baracoa Massif is located, one of the most extensive and attractive in the country.
The province emerged in 1976 with the new political-administrative division and is made up of 10 municipalities: Guantanamo, Baracoa, El Salvador, Yateras, Maisí, Imías, San Antonio del Sur, Manuel Tames, Caimanera and Niceto Pérez.
Its main settlements of interest in the national order are the city of Guantánamo, as provincial capital, and Baracoa.
