The city originally
was constructed with many blind alleys and forked streets so it was difficult to
the pirates to invade, and even if they do, it was hard to get out of Camagüey,
so locals could fight back easily.
Camagüey is
now a UNESCO World Heritage, the city was restored, houses were painted with
vivid colors and we can see also the ornate iron window bars very characteristic
for being another way to protect from invaders.
In this
photo are the statue and the living model reading a newspaper.
Here tourism
is very well integrated with the locals, were you can ride in three-wheeled
vehicles to take a tour of the city, buy some memories or pose with a big cigar
guy.
