Pilon, Casa Museo Celia Sanchez

(CW 2001)
Between big Royal Palms stands the house where Celia Sanchez lived during the landing of the Granma. We understood that from here Celia helped Fidel Castro and his guerillas after the landing of the Granma by sending them supplies. Inside the house is a small museum dedicated to Celia Sanchez. One of the most interesting items on display is Celia's dental prosthesis. Part of the museum is dedicated to other local heroes and the 1961 literacy campaign in the region.
