Las Tunas Guide
The history of this province is quite colourful, or so legend would have you believe. The story goes that , in 1519, a Spaniard by the name of Alonso de Ojeda lost his ship went down, Alonso salvaged a statue of the Virgin Mary and, on making land, credited her with aiding him in his miraculous escape from certain death.
As he made his way across the land he vowed to offer the statue to the first village he came across, and on reaching the Indian village of Cueyba, he gave it to the local chief, instructing him to build a church in honour of her divinity.
The flora and fauna of La Isleta in the municipality of Manati and Monte Cabaniguan in southern Las Tunas could make these areas tourist magnets in the future.
