Matanzas Interesting : Michelin's recommendations

The historic centre of Matanzas has some fine colonial houses embellished with wrought ironwork, vestiges of the town’s bygone economic and cultural prosperity. The omnipresence of water – Matanzas is on the sea and two rivers run through it – gives the town a special charm and has earned it the nickname the “Venice of Cuba”. The River Yumurí and River San Juan divide it into three: Versalles to the north, the town centre in the middle, and Pueblo Nuevo to the south.
