Founded in 1513 by Diego Velasquez, the town of San Salvador de Bayamo is where Cuba's national anthem was written on Oct. 20th, 1868, by Perucho Figueredo, 10 days after the War of Independence began. In this very spot where I stand in Plaza Del Himno Nacional, Perucho sat on his horse and wrote the lyrics. Cuba's long history is fascinating and I urge you to venture off the tourist path to experience the real Cuba! . . #Bayamo #autenticacuba #Cuba #Travelista73 #ig_cuba #TheGlobeWanderer #SheIsNotLost #IntrepidTravel #MyTinyAtlas #Travelstoke #DameTraveler #TLPicks #TravelDeeper #LiveFolk #PassionPassport #TravelingOurPlanet #DarlingEscapes #OpenMyWorld #LonelyPlanet #BeautifulDestinations #BestPlaces_togo #Wonderful_Places #TasteinTravel #Huffpostgram #Travelwithfathom #TravelAwesome #TakeMeThere #LifeCelebrated #TLTransportMe #ForbesTravelGuide https://www.instagram.com/p/BrL2ilgFYsD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ckkgkymca7ud
