Cuba's largest urban park sits across the RÃo Hatibonico from the old town, and was laid out in 1860. There are shaded benches, a baseball stadium, concerts and activities. On a traffic island near the park entrance, there's a monument dedicated to Mariano Barberán and JoaquÃn Collar, Spaniards who made the first nonstop flight between Seville, Spain, and °ä²¹³¾²¹²µÃ¼±ð²â, Cuba, in 1933.
The pair made the crossing in their plane Cuatro Vientos, but tragically the plane disappeared when flying to Mexico a week later. Ubiquitous bici-taxis are on hand to pedal you around.
