Camagüey Cuba: The land of history and charm - Meliá Hotels Intrenational Cuba

LAND OF LEGENDS AND TINAJONES

Camagüey, known for its churches and tinajones (large clay pots for storing water), was one of the first seven settlements founded on the island. It has a valuable historic legacy and traditions preserved for over 500 years. Declared a World Cultural Heritage Site, its intricate maze of streets and squares have turned this destination into a unique place in the eastern centre of Cuba.
