Holguín
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Holguín is the capital of the Cuban Province Holguín. It was presumably founded as San Isidoro de Holguín in 1545, and it is named after its founder García de Holguín. It has about 300,000 inhabitants.
The city has several parks, most prominently Galixto García Park in the center. Close by one finds the galleries Moncada and Bayado, a library, the club Casa de la Trova, the Martí cinema, the Theatre Eddy Suñol, the Province Museum La Periquera, a science museum, and a history museum. From the mountain Loma de la Cruz, which can be ascended by its 450 stairs, one can oversee the whole city.
Holguín has a baseball stadium, and its airport Frank País is connected to Havana and several international destinations.
