Cienfuegos is called the "Pearl of the South" because the Bay and the Rancho Luna Beach are the symbols of all the beautiful places that the province has.

The Bay of Cienfuegos (22 km2) is the most important of the south of Cuba after the bay of Santiago de Cuba. The Bay is the house of Shrimps. "Luna Cienfueguera" a song about "Camaroneros" (fisherman) who are looking for fish under the Luna Cienfueguera (Cienguera Moon) love the Moon that reflect over the Bay ... the light and the spirit of the people.

About the history of Cienfuegos, it was the only city that was founded (1819) by the French. So there are many tracks and elements of the French Culture, like the names of the streets, arquitecture, art, etc etc. For this reason you won't see many mulatas in Cienfuegos.
