Matanzas sits on the north shore of Cuba and invites the adventurous traveler to explore. Known as The City of Bridges for the bridges that crisscross its three rivers throughout the city, Matanzas is the heart of Afro-Cuban folklore where its grubby streets grind along with the hectic pace of a large city. A wander around Matanzas captures the essence of the Cuban time warp with its classic buildings, museums, theatres and cars. Nearby attractions include scuba diving and deep sea fishing off the coast along with the gorgeous Verardo beach allowing for long walks along its stretch of golden sand that stretch for miles along the provincial coastline.
