It's a long journey from Trinidad to Santiago on the bus, precisely 13 hours. I'm tired of staying in 'casas' so this time opt for a cheap hotel which I grow to regret.
Founded by Spanish conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar in 1514 Santiago de Cuba is Cuba's second largest city after Havana and is the origin of traditional Son rhythms.
It's also known as the cradle of the Revolution, as in 1953 the Cuban Revolution began with an failed armed attack on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago, by small group of rebels led by Fidel Castro.
