In the western tip of the Cuba,
in the Province of Pinar del Rio in the central north, lies the
Vinales City. Vinales is a small home town of approximately
28,000 inhabitants. Vinales City is one of the most beautiful
and most quiet places to live in Cuba. Its first settlers were
the taino, then came the slaves and afterwards the tobacco
growers. Nestled in the valley of Vinales with the overlooking
mountain ranges of the Cordillera de Guaniguanico, the Sierra de
los Órganos, Vinales is the land of abundance with its fertile
soil and green pastures. The paradisiacal landscapes of this
part of rural Cuba are an invitation to a dreamed life. Much
fresh foods are available to the population who live mainly on
agriculture and fishing. Fruits, vegetable, taro and tobacco are
grown with traditional methods by the farmers. In this little
community, mostly one storey houses, made of wood, border the
road of Vinales. With their roofed tops of different colors and
their porches, the dwellings of the inhabitants remain a
peaceful haven. In Vinales City, all seemed untouched through
the tides of times in the life of these people who have remained
so close to nature. |
