Bayamo, the cradle of the nation

Bayamo is located in the Eastern part of Cuba, specifically in Granma province. It was founded on November 5th, 1513 and it is the second oldest city in the island

Bayamo is not just a historical place; but, it also plays a really important role in the culture, economy, and industrialization of the área.

The Independence War in Cuba against Spain started on October 10th, 1868 and everything started in Bayamo. People like Carlos Manuel de Céspedes (Father of the Fatherland), Francisco Vicente Aguilera, and Perucho Figueredo, the creator of La Bayamesa (current National Anthem) wrote the pages of the history of Bayamo and Cuba. It is really important to know that the first time the National Anthem was sung was in Bayamo and this territory became the cradle of the nation.
