A quick look to Holguin’s history

Holguin was founded in 1525 by Captain Francisco Garcia de Holguin on what was an original Indian town situated between two hills, Cerro de Mayabe and Loma de la Cruz.

The people of Holguin took an active part in the wars of independence under the leadership of Calixto Garcia, the famous general who liberated the city from the Spanish in 1872. There is a museum and a statue to commemorate him in the town.

Holguin is a province, Cuba fourth-largest one, and the capital city of the province is also named Holguin. In the north limits with the Atlantic Ocean, this prompted the growth of the city’s port to become one of the most important for the sugar and slave trade.

But there was also danger, the province became the target of pirates. Today the remains of the fortresses that were constructed to defend it are still preserved.

The reason why Cubans gave the name of Park City to Holguin is because the many parks in the city. Some of the most important are Parque Calixto García, Parque de Las Flores, Parque Martí, Parque San José and many more.
