Matanzas / Jaguey Grande

(CW 2001)
In the neighborhood of Jaguey Grande is a big sugar mill. From here Fidel Castro took control of the counterattack against the invasion in the Bay of Pigs (Bahia de Cochinos). There is a little museum and you can visit Fidel Castro's office. You can see the Sau-100 tank used by Fidel Castro during the invasion in Havana in front of the Museo de la Revolucion.
