Baracoa, Cuba's oldest city, is perfect for independent-minded travelers seeking somewhere just a little bit different. It has an atmosphere all its own. One as haunting in its fantastical unfamiliarity as it is enchanting in its beauty. The town's setting seems fit for a Hollywood epic. Baracoa spreadeagles below a dramatic flat-topped formation-El Yunque (the anvil)-that floats mysteriously above the surrounding hills, forming a great amphitheater flowing down to the Bahía de Miel (Bay of Honey).
