El
Cambio
Bar
Plaza de Agramonte
Calle Martín 152
Camagüey
Tel: 32/28-6240
Canalcubano:
This bar El Cambio in the city of Camagüey is a place
worth visiting. Located opposite Plaza Agramonte, the establishment
has a charming design and decoration with ceramic elements
in its floor and ceiling.
Frommers:
Acool, slightly bedraggled little drinking hole on the northeast
corner of Parque Agramonte and open to the street. Open
since 1909, it has a thick patina of graffiti on its walls
and a ceramic mural over the bar by a well-known local artist,
Oscar Lasseria. And best of all, it never closes |
Café
del Hotel Colón
Hotel Colón
Calle República #472
Camagüey
Tel: (32) 283368
Canalcubano:
People from Camagüey know that this bar-café,
situated in the inner yard of this old hotel, is one of
the nicest in town. Only a few foreigners (a part from those
living here) are aware of it. Thanks to its location, in
the middle of the historic centre, and the charm of its
building, set up in 1926, it transmits the sensation to
be an integral part of every day life.
Frommers:
The Hotel Colón has the city's other great hotel
bar: the elegant, old-world Lobby Bar. Open since 1927 but
newly and splendidly restored, you should come here for
a cocktail to start or finish off the evening.

Casa

Salvador
Cisneros #171 e / Marti y Cristo
Camaguey
Tel 32/29-1357
CanalCubano:
Located in the historical center of the city, in front of
Agramonte Square, that is the place to go if you want to
listen to traditional cuban and local music within a pleasant
popular atmosphere. Food and drinks are modest.
Frommers:
One of the liveliest in Cuba, with good bands and great
local crowds. The handsome colonial structure facing the
newly renovated Parque Agramonte has a large, open-air patio
under tall palm trees and an elegant but relaxed atmosphere.

Tel: (322) 92804
Canalcubano:
A quite simple bar that converts into a disco later on at
night. Its decorators are definitely not the most creative
ones in Cuba and we consider its list of drinks to be a
short one. Nevertheless Cubans love to go there and specially
on week-ends the ambient is great with people dancing until
sun-rise. Some of its clients join from other places to
spend the rest of their night in this place. You can consume
sandwiches and light meals. Prices will make you smile.

a day but during some seasons it might close at 2 am.

Teatro
Principal
Padre Valencia 64 e/ Tatán Mendéz and Lugareño
Camaguey
Tel: 32/29-3048
Frommers:
Built in 1850, the neoclassical Teatro Principal, is an
elegant showpiece with a grand marble staircase and chandeliers.
The theater is home to the distinguished Ballet de Camagüey,
known for its international tours and second only to Havana's
ballet company. The company is well worth seeing if you
are lucky enough to be in town when a performance is scheduled;
I recently caught an excellent performance of Giselle. Paradiso/ARTex,
a cultural tour promoter, offers group visits to the ballet
company, with backstage tours of the theater, interviews
with choreographers and dancers, and the opportunity to
sit in on a rehearsal. Tours are $5 per person. Call ARTex
at tel. 32/28-5242 for more information. Other performances
scheduled at the Teatro include those of the local Orchesta
Sinfónica. |

Maceo 64, e/ General Gómez and Ignacio Agramonte

Tel: 32/29-2550
Canalcubano:
Located in the Gran Hotel ground floor, this place is very
well frequented every day. Its decoration, a bit kitsch,
is a part of its appeal. There are usually good local son
live performances.
Frommers:
Tucked behind a door at the back of the lobby of the Gran
Hotel is Piano Bar Marquesina. This sumptuously atmospheric
cocktail lounge serves classic bar drinks. A sexy side room,
where couples tend to canoodle, turns into a small disco
late in the evening; occasionally there's live music.
