    Santiago is also the capital of the
    province with the same name.
    Surrounded by the green mountains
    of the Sierra Maestra range and the
    Caribbean Sea, Santiago is unique
    in its geography and beautiful
    landscape. Its surroundings make
    the city one of the most important
