Varadero
From Wikia Travel
Varadero is a popular resort town in the province of Matanzas, Cuba, and one of the largest in the Caribbean.
Varadero is first and foremost a tourist resort, and boasts more than 20 kilometres of white sandy beaches. Tourism grew as Irénée du Pont Nemours, an American millionaire, in the early 1930's built his estate on the peninsula. But the first tourists arrived at Varadero already in the 1870's, and for years it was considered an elite resort. But in 1959 when the Cuban Revolution triumphed the beach was opened to the people and all the mansions were expropiated from their rich owners.
