Music lovers can catch a beat or two at Casa de la Trova El Guayabero, one of the most famous music houses on the isle.

Of course, no visit to Holguin is complete without a beach day. You\u2019ll have three stunning stretches of sand to choose from at Playa Esmeralda, Playa Guardalavaca, and Pesquero Beach \u2013 all offering something slightly different. Crowned as one of the top ten beaches in the Caribbean, Playa Esmeralda is a hot spot for its 900m of soft white sands and transparent waters, while Playa Guardalavaca is where you\u2019ll find the locals, mostly due to its close proximity to the main town, local market, and a clutch of welcoming bars and cafes.
