Baracoa (Santiago de Cuba) is the most eastern port of importance on the north coast.
Baracoa is far behind the times, but it has all the potentialities for future greatness.
The hill called the "Anvil of Baracoa" (about 3000 ft.) is remarkable for its extremely regular formation.
Baracoa is the oldest town in Cuba, having been settled by Diego Velazquez in 1512.
The landing was made at Baracoa, the Spanish gunboats which were watching the coast being successfully eluded.
