A brief tour of the history of Ciego de Avila

Ciego de Avila is a province located at Cuba´s center, in the South East of Havana. The capital, a small and modern city has the same name.

Since 2010 the city has experienced a huge growth. The population went from 104,850 inhabitants in 2010 to 152.383 in 2015. The tourism industry and hotel infrastructure are two of the pillars of that increase. Travelers find in the city and the province in general one of the most interesting places on the island.

The city of Ciego de Avila was founded in 1840. Livestock and agriculture were the main economic activities until sugarcane cultivation began in the XIX century. The military presence was also relevant during the colonial times and after them. But the modern times and the commissioning of the railroad made it an important economic center.

That is how the city became the largest grower of pineapples in Cuba. Also, sugarcane processing became one of the most important in the island.
