Pinar del Rio is a sleepy town with most of the life happening in the main street of this tobacco orientated town where the local hardened people with leathery skin smoke their cigars and wander the streets.
There are some extraordinary buildings here and some and actually rotting away before your eyes as the mould falls from the pillars of some the buildings sat close by to buildings that have had some major work done and stand out in stunning colours. Be sure to look out for the murals here they are the best I have seen in Cuba.
You will not find too much to do here as buses pass by towards Viñales and once a week to Maria la Gorda where you can dive at some of Cuba’s most amazing dive sites.
