Guanabo

A beach town can be found in Cuba's Ciudad de la Habana Province. It is a ward (consejo popular) of the municipality of Habana del Este situated near the mouth of the Guanabo River, halfway between Santa Cruz del Norte and the Atlantic Ocean shore, and between the Sierra del Canchón and the center of Havana (mountain range).

Guanabo is a beach resort town with a few modest hotels and small-scale houses. In 1800, the town was established. It was there that Havana-based troops put down the Peas Altas revolt in 1827 (Peas Altas is a neighborhood east of Guanabo).

The village of Guanabo is situated between Santa Cruz del Norte and Havana along the mouth of the Guanabo River. It is bordered by the Sierra del Canchon mountains and faces the Atlantic Ocean. Smaller houses and a number of hotels with low rise architectural styles are among the seaside attractions in this uncrowded beach town in Cuba. The Penas Altas insurrection, which dates back to 1800, took place here and was brutally put down by government troops sent from Havana in 1827.
