A place to come if you are interested in learning about the economic history of Cuba. The sugar production brought wealth to this area and the museum gives you some important pieces of information about how it happened. Nice guide and tasty welcome drink. They play a video ( they have it in several languages) to make you " tune in" at the beginning of the tour.

Who would of thought a Museum was so much fun. It actually came down to our host. He spoke Spanish, but we had an interpreter to explain most of what he was saying. We really didn't need an interpreter to see how excited and passionate he was about his Hawks team. (Think two rival football teams) We actually got to see a video they put together to send to the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to become certified as a UNESCO site. It was the next best thing to see since we wouldn't be able to come back on December 24th to witness this fabulous festival. The firework displays were something else to behold and would NEVER happen in the USA with our many restrictions. We were oooing and awwing when we witnessed the firework display. They are all hand done and are quite something to behold along with the elaborate costumes and floats. I would love to be able to see this in person. Every year there is a theme, and the most beautiful girl in the city (by a vote) gets to sit atop of the float for their team. Each year they seem to top the year before. All this started 100's of years ago because of one lone priest wanting his people in his town to come to church on midnight mass on Christmas Eve.

Days of the sugar mills are gone here in Cuba. There only a very few left. This one has turned into an open air museum. It's really quite well done and preserved. We had a private tour guide that explained the history and process of sugar. But first we had to sample a tasty sugar drink, made right then and there with fresh sugar canes. Such a fun process to watch. I would hate to think how they did it back in the day without modern machines. Train ride wasn't available on the day we toured the museum. Our guide spoke English so that we could understand. Informational signs are in Spanish.
