In the past it was a very popular spot among the Cuban upper class, who said it's beauty competed with the majestic city of Havana. Since the 20th century, wealthy families came to this area, located in the center of Matanzas province, to enjoy the charming landscape and to stay in the luxurious spa hotels that formed the town. However, after the Revolution in 1959, a sugar mill polluted the waters and caused the hotel complex to be closed, leading to its abandonment and deterioration.
