Neighborhood in danger of disappearing due to construction of hotels on Holguín beach

Thehotel expansion in the Guardalavaca area, in the province of Holguín, puts at risk the survival of the small coastal neighborhood known asThe Cayuelo, where homes have disappeared in recent years.

Heyoutuber cubano Johnny explored this coastal settlement, located in the municipality of Banes, and warned about the danger facing the community, suggesting that the government has plans to build new hotels in the area.

In the video he showed the foundations of old houses, also the natural beauties of the area, which make it a coveted place forCuban tourism industry.

“The few houses that remain are because people have had pants"said the youtuber who warned that pressure has been put on the residents to move to other settlements.

The content creator spoke with some residents who confirmed that years ago the area was full of buildings and families who, little by little, have been moving.

Miriam, who was not born inThe Cayuelo But he has lived there for more than 60 years, he said that many homes disappeared because people “were taken to the buildings.”

The lady referred to some apartments offered as exchange currency to those who give the land to tourism.

The woman explained that on the land occupied by the hotels in Guardalavaca, there were formerly houses “of people with money in the last government.”

The YouTuber highlighted the importance of tourism development, but regretted the government's lack of respect for the families who have lived inThe Cayuelo for several generations.

This is not the first time that the ambition to develop tourism projects leads to the eviction of people in beach areas.

In 2023,The regime evicted at least 60 families from the beautiful La Herradura beach, in the province of Las Tunas, and demolished several homes.

The people affected by the government, although they indicated that they did not have ownership of the land, emphasized that the intentions were to ensure future hotel development areas.

A similar situation previously occurred in the coastal town of El Ramón, in Antilla, located in the province of Holguín, whenThe government demolished the homes of several people as part of an ambitious tourism development project in the area, led by the Business Administration Group S.A. (GAESA).
