City of Holguín
The provincial capital, also noted for being the only city in Cuba to maintain a system of ancient parks linked by two parallel streets, heart of the city's social, cultural and commercial life. Also known as the City of Parks, it hosts major events such as the Festival of Ibero-American Culture, celebrated every year at the end of October, and the Romerías de Mayo, a lively tradition beginning with a pilgrimage to the Loma de la Cruz (hill of the cross), from where the entire city can be seen.
