We began our journey in the capital, Trinifuegos, a densely populated conurbation of almost 10 million. It is not a pretty place; heavile industrialised, with huge factories belching out black fumes, and miles of urban sprawl as housing estates and shopping centres spread out from the city centre for miles. It was a relief to leave. As soon as we got into the countryside, things improved considerably. The climate is dry and it is difficult to grow anything, but thanks to irrigation, which helps bring water in from the Rio Cauto(the huge river with its source high up in the snow-covered peak of the Sierra Maestra mountain range), the land is fertile enough to grow the sugar cane on which much of the economy is based. We saw few people, howere, as many have moved to the towns and cities to look for more profitable work. It is largely due to this rural depopulation that the sugar canr industry is suffering. Further south and we entered the Holguin valley, with mountains rising high above us on both sides. The land here drops sharply to the sea and the slow-moving waters of the Rio Cauto give way to waterfalls which tumble over cliffs, and small, fast-moving streams which are not even wide enough to take a boat. At this point, the road we were travelling along became a lane which was only just wide enough for our vehicle, and then an unpaved track which almost shook the vehicle to pieces. And then suddenly, the Pacific Ocean was in front of us. Our destination was the town of Santiago de Gibara, built on a cape sticking put into the blue waters. The coutryside here undulates gently, with low hills covered in rich tropical jungle. The open plain surrounding the estuary of the Rio Cauto as it reaches the ocean is rich and fertile, ideal for growing the tobacco plants which need a lot of warm, damp soil. That night I lay in me cheap hotel, listening to the waves gently lapping the shore and wheb I eventually fell asleep, I dreamt of the people who haf first inhabited this country almost 2000 years before.
