May is a great time to visit and walk around Cuba. The lesser influx of tourists and a pleasant climate allow you to stroll with greater tranquility throughout the Cuban archipelago. It is during this month that the weather allows you to make the most of the day during your stay in Cuba, with 10 hours of natural light to enjoy the largest amount of daytime activities.
Tour its capital, the incredible city of Havana. Visiting this city is like going back in time thanks to its colonial architecture that translates into old buildings and important squares. Like those of Old Havana: the Cathedral Square, the Plaza Vieja (Old Plaza), the Plaza de Armas (Weapons Plaza) and the Plaza San Francisco de Asis (Plaza of Saint Francisco of Assisi), ideal for walking around and witnessing the historic buildings that surround them. The imposing Plaza de la Revolución (Revolution Plaza) is a place you cannot miss during your visit to the Cuban capital. You can also stroll along the Boardwalk and enjoy the beautiful Cuban coastline. Or simply observe the joy with which Cubans live their daily lives.
Enjoy the cities of central Cuba such as Trinidad, a World Heritage Site since 1988, known for being the ‘museum city’, or the city of Cienfuegos (Hundred Fires), known as the ‘La Perla del Sur Pearl’ (the Pearl of the South), which was founded by French settlers; both offer striking colonial architecture, with its pastel-colored houses and cobblestone streets, you can walk around and enjoy the museums and churches that mark an important part of Cuba's history. In addition, for the more adventurous, you can tour the Sierra del Escambray (Mountain Range of Escambray), which has a special microclimate which is a bit cooler than the slightly higher temperatures found in the rest of the Cuban territory. The Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes (Great Natural Park Topes de Collantes) with its impressive caves, great trails for all activities and waterfalls, will surprise you in the outskirts of the city of Trinidad. In the vicinity of Cienfuegos, be amazed by the towering waterfall El Nicho and refresh yourself in the natural pools that are located at the top of the huge waterfall. Always accompanied by the exotic flora and fauna that can be found throughout Cuba.
Take advantage of the tropical climate to relax on the miles of white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Varadero, close to Havana, is Cuba's seaside resort town par excellence. Here you can relax under the sun, enjoying the most traditional beverages in the different hotels and spas that dot the city. If you are looking not only for relaxation, but also for water sports, do not hesitate to visit the beaches located in the well-known Jardines del Rey (King's Gardens), such as Cayo Coco (Coco Cay), Cayo Guillermo (Guillermo Cay) and Cayo Cruz (Cruz Cay), the Península de Ancón (Ancon Peninsula), Cayo Largo del Sur (Long Southern Cay), Cayo Santa Maria (Saint Mary Cay), Playa de Guardalavaca (Guardalavaca Beach) or Playa de Santa Lucía (Saint Lucy Beach). These are ideal to enjoy underwater life with a diving or snorkeling center.
The month of May presents a number of very interesting activities to get to know Cuban culture on the inside.
From May 1st you can observe and accompany the millions of people who parade through the streets of the main Cuban cities and towns, commemorating the International Workers' Day. On this important date, workers, peasants, scientists, professionals and athletes of all ages gather together. Since 1959 it is an act of great importance and heritage for Cubans. The mixture of colors, songs, batucadas, music and joy will allow you to get to know more closely the idiosyncrasies of the Cuban people. The most multitudinous and important parade takes place in the city of Havana, with a grand finale at the Plaza de la Revolución José Martí (José Martí Revolution Plaza), usually attended by the president of the republic and the general secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba.
Another important celebration to attend is the Romerías de Mayo de la Loma de La Cruz. These are held every year between May 2 and 8 in the city of Holguin. Organized by the Hermanos Saíz Association, the Romerías mix music, dance, art for the whole city which does not sleep and celebrates a carnival for even the most diverse tastes. This Cuban tradition is not complete without fulfilling the important rite that gives life to the Romerías and that is the pilgrimage to the Loma de la Cruz, located at the northern end of the city and that provides a panoramic view that you can not miss. The youth present in the place will soak into your core and even the oldest leave rejuvenated thanks to all the flavor and color of this celebration. You cannot fail to be part of this tradition and participate with enthusiasm and motivation in the various activities that will make you enjoy this beautiful holguinera party.
An important concern when traveling is the climate of the place you will visit. Here is what the weather is like on the island of Cuba during the month of May. Cuba's characteristic tropical climate is maintained during the month of May. With temperatures fluctuating between 22° and 30° Celsius, making them pleasant days to walk around the different Cuban cities and enjoy its beaches. In addition, during May, the days begin to become longer, with more hours of natural light, to make the most of your activities. It is possible that you may encounter showers during this month, but they are of lesser intensity and usually in the early morning. The temperature of the Caribbean Sea averages 28º C, ideal for nautical sports. It is advisable to wear light clothing so that you can travel as comfortably as possible, but always carry a thin raincoat in case a few drops fall. Remember to always take care of sunburns, so you should travel with a high spf sunscreen, no matter when you travel, and your essential sunglasses.
