Hello, my friends. Today I want to tell you about my recent trip to Sancti Spíritus, a city in Cuba. It was a trip where I had to take my little girl to the pediatric hospital there, but I decided to take the opportunity to explore the city and make a different day out of it.
Sancti Spíritus is a city that has a lot to offer despite its modest size. The city is located in central Cuba and has a rich history dating back to colonial times, being one of the first villas founded by Diego Velazques de Cuellar in 1514. One of the first things you notice is the colonial architecture that dominates the historic center of the city. Cobblestone streets, houses with wrought iron balconies and red tile roofs create something unique.
One of the landmarks is the Iglesia Parroquial Mayor del Espíritu Santo, which is one of the most emblematic buildings in the city. The church dates back to the 16th century and is an impressive example of Cuban colonial architecture. Its facade is imposing, with details carved in stone and marble sculptures. The interior of the church is equally impressive, with high ceilings and a decoration that combines Baroque and Renaissance elements.

I was also able to appreciate the Yayabo Bridge, another architectural jewel of the colonial era. This stone bridge dates from the 19th century and crosses the Yayabo River, which flows through the city. The Yayabo Bridge is an iconic place with its brick arches. The view of this beautiful place is grandiose.
As I made my way through the streets of Sancti Spíritus, I came across charming houses that are striking in their design. The city has a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, and I was able to enjoy authentic Cuban life as I watched people socializing in the parks and on the street.

From the impressive Iglesia Parroquial Mayor del Espiritu Santo to the nostalgic Yayabo Bridge, Sancti Spíritus has much to offer travelers looking to explore Cuba's rich history and culture. A very peaceful and relaxing place. Thank you.
