With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Cayo Blanco, 60 miles away, has to offer. Las Cuevas de Bellamar, Morrillo Castle and Biblioteca Gener y Del Monte alone justify the drive. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Plaza de la Revolucion, 16 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s José Martí Memorial. (But we’re also huge fans of Revolution Square and Cuban Art Factory.)
