One of Cuba's oldest towns, its compact colonial core centers on a plaza with a gilded church altar that survived centuries of pirate raids and neglect. Every December the town erupts in Las Parrandas, a firework-fueled rivalry between two neighborhoods recognized by UNESCO as intangible heritage. It serves as a quieter colonial alternative on the way to the Cayo Santa María beaches.
