Casa Yazmin, from 20 CUC per day: all new, clean, with terrace
Bed for ♥ ♥ in the apartment
Casa for rent in the upper floor
For the demanding guest
This entire apartment, with independent entry, kitchen, terrace has been refurbished in 2013 and is
currently considered to be one of the best in Holguin, Cuba. A safe and quiet (not a main street)
place to stay. Recommended by experienced Cuba travellers, rents start from
20 CUC per day
In the first days of April. Due to the anniversary of the Union of the Young Communists
(UJC) there are open air concerts in the city parks. This video of David Blanco was taken on
such occasion:
I have stayed at Yazmin in April 2013 and was astonished how clean, quiet and
modern this apartment was. No cheap carpentry, attention to detail everywhere and even
the towels were of much higher quality then you get in other casas in Cuba.
I was missing a phone, but even then: this is an excellent value for money.
Count on me, Yazmin, I'll be back.

Poitea gracilis just east of Cananova toward Moa at the south end of Cerro Miraflores, Provincia Holguin, Cuba. Collected and photographed on 8 July 1990 by Matt Lavin 7142 and Antonio Lopez (specimen voucher at MONT Herbarium). Coordinates: 20.587958, -75.048629, 105 m elevation. In mesic charrascal (charrascal alto) tropical scrub. At this site, Poitea gracilis was a slender shrub 3-20 dm tall and 2.5 cm diameter at base. In understory on loose substrates.
Endemic to seasonally dry tropical forests and woodlands of Cuba, Poitea gracilis is a morphologically variable species and varies from intricately branched thorny shrubs with small few-leafleted leaves (i.e., growing in charrascal abajo) to slender unbranched shrubs with leaves having upwards of 20 leaflets each (i.e., growing in charrascal alto - as in this population east of Cananova). Regardless, the leaf rachis in this species is consistently winged or dorsiventrally compressed, stipels are inconspicuous if not absent, and the leaflets have conspicuously recurved margins. In addition, Poitea gracilis is distinguished by its flower with wing petals that enclose all but the distal tip of the keel, a pseudomonadelphous staminal tube, and an arcuate style that gradually tapers to an apical stigma.
Like many species of the Greater Antillean genus Poitea, short shoots from which inflorescences are born become prominent with age in Poitea gracilis populations.

Poitea gracilis south of Levisa along Rio Levisa, near a large open pit nickel mine, Provincia Holguin, Cuba. Collected and photographed on 7 July 1990 by Matt Lavin 7138 and Antonio Lopez (specimen voucher at MONT Herbarium). Coordinates: 20.625453, -75.533285, 32 m elevation. In mesic charrascal (evergreen) tropical scrub. At this site, Poitea gracilis was a slender shrub 1-20 dm tall and with underground runners (root sprouting) on loose substrates where disturbed.
