Vinãles is a beautiful place to visit and to relax. Why not take a bike ride in the countryside surrounded by those Morgotes. You will see the beautiful landscapes and you even can have a lunch at the restaurant at Cueva Vinãles before you ride your bike back to the city. We also met a tobacco farmer and his family and we visited their home, see my travelogue a bike ride in the Morgotes.

The atmosphere at night is very lively and you can enjoy the life bands that perform in the local pubs and why not have a dance or a talk with the locals. It's better then staying in your hotel and seeing the same bands perform without the soul that's so typical for a Cuban. See my travelogue A night in the town.
