For the last few years, this central province has mostly received a circuit tourism attracted by the close relationship between its capital city and the figure of the legendary Guerilla Commander Ernesto (Ché) Guevara. At the end of December of 1958, he carried out here decisive combats of the final struggle for the definite final liberation.

Santa Clara is a neat and quiet city that was founded in 1689. The memorial Museum, built as a tribute to Ché Guevara and his comrades, killed in combat in Bolivia; La Caridad Theater (1885) and the Leoncio Vidal Park are places that must be seen. The city also has the advantage that its geographical position locates it 267 kilometers from the City of Havana, 74 kilometers from Cienfuegos, and 207 kilometers from Varadero and only 88 kilometers from Trinidad.

Camajuaní, an agricultural municipality abundant in good Tobacco rollers and San Juan de los Remedios, the eighth villa founded in the island by the Spanish conquerors (1515), are must see places located on the way to the north keys, mainly the second one, which deserves all the attention of visitors.

The historic center of Remedios, declared National Monument in 1980, is the only one in the country with two churches in its municipal square: Nuestra Señora del Buen Viaje and Parroquia Mayor. In the second one you will see a huge altar, totally gold plated, and a sculpture, presumed to be unique in the world, which represents Virgin Mary pregnant.

Indeed, what has made this simple town so well-known is the traditional parranda, whose origin dates back to the first quarter of the XIX century, dividing the population, since 1871, into two bands: San Salvador and El Carmen, represented by a rooster and a sparrow hawk, respectively. Both of them fight in the midst of smartness, imagination, music and noise from the night of the 24 of December.

Villa Clara has other attractions like Lake Hanabanilla, one of the biggest artificial water reservoirs in the country, built right next to the mountainous region of Escambray where you will find a reserve of flora and fauna, and the resort of Elguea which treasures mineral-medicinal and thermal waters.
