Interesting people and park with lots of good facilities around.

Beautiful experience and beautiful city. !!! Love Santiago de Cuba. !!!

Each time I'm in this place, it's an experience of its own. Relaxing, nostalgic, fun and great for people watching. Be ware of peddlers asking for spare change or other favors.

Excellent place to hang out. You can listen to music and enjoy the atmosphere

Beautifully kept and landscaped, this park is in the center of Bayamo. Steps away from the Casa de Cultura, shopping district and arts installation and Hotel Royalton. Everything in one scenic location! There is always music, wifi access, historic buildings, artists selling wares and a huge digital clock.

Best square in Santiago de Cuba, also best WiFi signal we found in the whole of Cuba and we could actually download some podcasts on the signal. We spent a few afternoons siting in the Casa Grande terrace drinking slightly inflated crystal beer. Good place to people watch but a lot of beggars come round the park in the evening and some are quite persistent.

It was a nice place to visit... Very safe... They had Valentine's day events here.

Incredible place to walk and explore full of cuban people with lot of Cuban Guaguanco, and also there is so many coffe shops and the famous Bodeguita del Medio near by this park!!👌🏼

The square has nice buildings but the air is full of exhaust gasses. Also quite unsafe due to the large amount of beggars, pickpockets and scammers.

In Céspedes Park, people of all ages meet and you can hear scraps of conversations and laughter everywhere. All kinds of initiatives are performed, like cultural, social or political, where a good number of people use to participate. Another very attractive activity that gathers to numerous public is the execution of the traditional danzon by musicians from other decade who still reminds a time in which those rhythms used to permeate the Cuban air. Structurally, the park has an ample square-tiled floor whose entry is in a wall with functional grilles that can be used as benches. Locals use to sit there and rest for a while of the intense heat from the Caribbean sun. On the other side, if you decide to opt for a stroll, the large garden is divided into four parcels through two narrow tracks strategically located, both in horizontal and vertical, that allows to comfortably the whole square. In the middle of the square, you can see a magnificent bust in bronze of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, the landowner who started in 1868 the struggle for the Cuban Independence.

The square is kept very clean. The surrounding buildings have been restored & it is well lit at night. A lovely spot to sit and listen to musicians in the evening.
