City Info
Camaguey

city

Camagüey, one of the 7 original Spanish settlements in Cuba, was founded in 1514 by Diego Velázquez as Santa María Puerto del Principe. In 1903, the city changed its name to Camagüey.

It seems Camagüey was a pirate magnet – it was so besieged by buccaneers, the city moved twice in the 1500s from its original locations (near Nuevitas on the north coast and along the Caonao River), until finding permanent home at its current site. Still, navigating the oldest parts of Camagüey can be a challenge – the city’s layout was designed to torment and discourage pirates like Henry Morgan who invaded the city periodically. Getting lost in the winding streets here is like a traveler’s rite of passage and a great way to get in touch with Cuban daily life.

The symbol of Camagüey is the clay pot or "tinajón", used to collect rainwater and keep it fresh. You’ll see tinajónes everywhere, some of which are still in use.

Camagüey is also known for its twelve churches housing valuable art collections and religious artifacts from the colonial period. There are some lovely museums worth checking out too, including the Museo Provincial Ignacio Agramonte.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, large parts of Camagüey are currently being restored – only Havana Vieja rivals this city for colonial renovation. There are also plenty of new restaurants and bars around town.

If you feel like soaking up some sun, the excellent beaches of Santa Lucía del Norte are about a 90 minute drive away.

The symbol of the city of Camagüey is the clay pot or tinajón, used to capture rain water to be used later, keeping it fresh. Clay pots are everywhere, some as small as a hand, some large enough for two people to stand up in, either as monuments or for real use. Local legend has it that if you drink water from a girl's personal tinajón, you will fall in love with the girl and never leave her.
