An important outpost in Cuban history, Baracoa is an intriguing small city in the east of the island. It is noted as the place where Columbus dropped anchor and was also the original Cuban capital. A cute cathedral, old forts and quaint houses, as well as the quirky Taino folk, are all historical highlights.
