Granma Cay is an islet located at the entrance of Santiago’s Bay, inhabited by few families mainly dedicated to fishing which live in curious houses of typical Cuban style, some directly over the water.
At the top of the islet, the church stands as a small white building which faces the sea entering at the bay, whose coast could be walked in just 15 minutes.
Currently, the Cay has a basic infrastructure, but enough for its residents, and also offers the chance to try the local cuisine in the two restaurants located there.
