Day 6

It's time to leave the Anap guesthouse and I have to say that they where really caring with us. Always helpful and really nice.

We need to proceed with our trip in direction of the rising sun. In this way we would be able to get to Trinidad. Before reaching our destination we stopped twice the first time in Sancti Spiritus a nice little town very lively and full of activities including stores in convertible pesos, something that I haven't seen before. There is also a little library where we bought three nice books for the equivalent of 2 pounds, as usual educational goods are dead cheap. The second stop was slighty different, is was a nice tower called Torre de Maneca Iznaga where from the top you can have a fantastic view of the surroundings. Nothing bad with it, the problem is that all local seems to want to sell you something, a selling technique more aggressive that anywhere else. The view from the tower was very impressive indeed as much as the prices of the only restaurant available.

The last part of the trip to reach was fairly short, just 45min and here we were. A very lovely town that everyone seem to be in love of. The reason is simple, even if there a number of tourists around the place did not loose it originality. The guesthouse it's of an higher standard then the previous and there's no ruster to be seen :-) this time after few hours free wondering around town we had tea in an original paladar, private home good food prepared by the owner and family. Music is everywhere in Trinidad and if you are out and about in the evening hours both the Casa de la Musica and Casa de la Trova are place to enjoy some live performances.
