Cuba is a primarily rural municipality, characterized by agricultural activities, given its abundant water supply. A visit to the municipality allows you to discover a remarkable amount of heritage for a relatively small municipality, including churches and hermitages. The Cuban Fresco Route is the best way to learn about this religious heritage. For those who appreciate it, there are activities that emphasize contact with nature, pleasant gardens, documentary-based tours, fine wines, exquisite cuisine, festivals, and pilgrimages at different times of the year. Regional sweets are recommended. Finally, a visit to local crafts, including leather goods, footwear, jewelry, and decorative arts, is also available.
