Cuba's second largest city, Santiago de Cuba is noticeably Caribbean in its culture. History seeps from every pore of Santiago de Cuba. The influence here is French rather than Spanish and people are mostly of Haitian origin. The city equals Havana in arts and affairs of politics. And the ambience too is similar to that of Havana. Museums and architectural heritage are in plenty. Dancing and music, romance and partying are features of the nightlife.
