Although we didn't enjoy holguin city centre, the trip up to the Hill of the Cross was a worth while excursion. The views from here across the city were simply amazing, and we loved the old guy with his guitar singing guantanamera, if you go, it would be nice to give him a tip, it would make him smile.

We visited Loma de la Cruz as part of the Holguin City tour. We climbed the stairs to Loma de la cruz. This will test your cardiac health.
