Santa Clara

A November 2003 trip to Santa Clara by kjrst9

Quote: Santa Clara can be done quickly when en route to another destination such as Trinidad or Cienfuegos. The two key points in Santa Clara are the Monumento a la Toma and the Memorial Che. It's also interesting to drive through town and see the daily lifestyle.

This is a train that Che and the revolutionaries derailed. It was carrying Batista forces, and therefore represents an important victory for the revolutionaries.
