Viñales Town & Parque José Martí
Pueblo de Viñales
A rustic town of colorful houses with columned porches, with a church and cultural house beside the central square. At night you can dance salsa at the open-air dance floor.
The town was founded in 1875. Calle Salvador Cisneros, the main street, is lined with colorful single-storey houses with columned porches, and almost every one is a casa particular (private guesthouse) marked by a blue anchor sign. Beside the central José Martí Park stand the Sagrado Corazón church, a colonial-style cultural house, and the municipal museum, named after Adela Azcúy, a heroine of the Cuban War of Independence. In the evening, the Polo Montañez Cultural Centre on the square hosts live bands and salsa dancing, and you can join in even if you can't dance. The town has ETECSA internet points and currency exchange, making it the base for exploring the valley.
