We took the Spectacular tour to Ciego de Avila on Wednesday, December 17/14 on the day there was a thawing of relationship between Cuba the the USA as broadcasted in the television. The two-hour bus ride from Pestana resort to the city was truly spectacular which started with the lecture of Alex our tour guide about the history of Cuba. He even mentioned the great author, Ernest Hemingway on his love of Cuba - their music, rum and sugar andf their way of getting education or profession. Sugar plantation is in abundance in the farmland we passed by, visiting the crocodile farm, touring the city via bicycle taxi and a horse-driven carriage. At the restaurant where we ate, the food was delicious even accompanied by great singers while we ate. We also went for snack at a place where there was music for samba, cha cha and salsa. My wife and I had a chance to do some latin dances. There was also a bout tour among the fascinating mangrove. Shopping at a store was great as we bought bags of coffee until we almost dropped. We love their coffee. It was worth the price we paid for.

During our recent visit to the Melia Cayo Guillermo, we, family and friends, took a day trip to the main island of Cuba to visit friends in the city of Ciego de Avila. On our way, we stopped in the small town of Patria to donate baseball uniforms to the local team and candies and treats to the children. The children, girls and boys, along with their coaches and parents were humbly grateful and very happy. It was a wonderful experience, see posted pictures.We traveled on to Ciego de Avila to our friends apartment and were treated to a lovely traditional Cuban lunch of congri, pork, yuca, tomatoes and cucumbers, ending with a yummy homemade cake. After lunch we all travelled in the van to downtown Ciego, stopping at a Guarapera stand on the way. Here we got to sample sugar cane juice squeezed from the sugar cane right in front of you. While downtown we checked out the shopping plaza and the market where tourists to Cuba frequently shop. Then we all climbed on to a caravan of bicycle taxis (bici taxis) for a ride through town. The bici taxis dropped us off at the Cuban market where our Cuban friends shop for their food. After the market we strolled back to our friend's apartment stopping to visit with neighbours along the way.This day was an amazing experience of Cuban culture and life, thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by all of us. The resorts and beaches are wonderful, however if you travel to Cuba, I recommend that you take some time to experience the real Cuba. Cuba Si!

Ciego de Avile is really nice city. Unfortunately, there are no "attractions"- it is really just a goot city for stay overnight- look around the city and continue in your journey

Such an eye opener visiting this city. Loosely called a city and even more loosely 'modern'. Took a great bike taxi ride with a very friendly guy who pointed out all the local museums and other points of interest. An experience not to be missed.

"Resort sitting" is not our idea of a good way to get to know a country, so the day trip offered by WestJet and Cubatur to Moron and Ciego de Avila gave us the perfect opportunity to see some of the day-to-day life in Cuba. Ciego de Avila, being the larger city, had more to offer in the way of cultural, architectural, and gastronomical opportunities than Moron, and was well worth the visit. Our guide was very informative and candid about the history and challenges Cuba has faced. She made sure to point out a wide variety of Spanish influenced architecture, American 1920's architecture and, as she put it "Soviet Union architecture" (basically painted cinder-block). Our tour included a stop at an Artex (the Cuban arts and cultural group that operates shops, entertainment and cultural opportunities aimed at tourists) gathering place, where we were entertained by a very good local music group, and offered alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We had a ride in a bicitaxi (bicycle propelled rickshaw), stopped at the Pauyet silver store (very beautiful silver jewelry and statues), walked through the pedestrian boulevard where there are a variety of local merchants, and visited the main square, which included a Catholic Church that was open for visitors. Our lunch was at the Don Avila hotel, a beautiful old hotel with a mariachi style group who played during lunch, and a cigar store next door, with very informative and helpful staff. The buffet offered was very good, with a choice of meats done kebab-style, salads, fruits and vegetables, plus one drink. After lunch we were given time to explore on our own before continuing on our tour. The local people were friendly and not pushy or intimidating if they had something to offer for sale. Our bicitaxi driver talked the whole ride (quite a feat in temperatures hovering around 29 C), and was a delight. I would highly recommend taking the tour.

Vibrant city full of interesting architecture, galleries, patio bars and restaurants. I felt very safe walking around and many of the Cubans who live and work in this city are connected to the Tourism industry. Recent changes to the law allow Cubans to open small shops out of their homes so you may find many selling items of food right from their front door to make extra money.

We saw Ciego de Avila as part of the West Jet Espectacular trip. Our guide Mr. Falcon was excellent. We saw silversmiths, watched a musical display and enjoyed this bright and bustling city.Riding in a bicycle taxi was amazing! Keep an eye out for the guy who is delivering cakes on a bicycle. Ate lunch at Don Avila - wonderful food with music - and a sketch artist delighted our family with sketches. Truly a one of a kind souvenir!Buying your cigars, souvenirs and liquor hear is a good idea as there is typically more selection than at the hotel.If you do get carsick please remember that the roads are not as smooth as back home (Canada for us). We saw a few people wearing pressure bands to relieve. This city alone was worth the money we spent.
