This the most beautiful land human eyes have ever seen, were the first words pronounced by admiral Christopher Columbus when setting foot on Bariay, territory on the HolguĂn coast, in 1492. It is quite probable that the same phrase had been repeated by many people visiting the province and this owes to the beauty of it.

Bariay
By the port of Bariay, today within the limits of this province, the Great Admiral Christopher Columbus disembarked on October 1492, thus beginning, with the discovery of the Americas, a new era in the history of mankind. Legend has it that the admiral, while setting foot on Cuban soil and amazed at the natural wonders, the beauty of the beaches, and the exuberance of the vegetation, pronounced a phrase that has been remembered ever since: "This is the most beautiful land human eyes have ever seen".
