Trinidad, Cuba - Owing to early American influences, baseball is the most popular sport in Cuba. Young boys are commonly seen playing baseball or stickball in the streets, often using plastic bottle caps when baseballs aren't available or practical. Here, a young Cuban boy gets ready to pitch in a game of stickball in Trinidad.
Trinidad is located in the province of Sancti Spíritus and together with the nearby Valle de los Ingenios, it has been one of UNESCOs World Heritage sites since 1988. It was founded in 1514 by Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar under the name Villa De la Santísima Trinidad.
Trinidad is one of the best preserved cities in the Caribbean from the time when the sugar trade was the main industry in the region. Nowadays, its main industry is tobacco processing and tourism. The colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, excellent live music, and nearby beaches make it a popular tourist destination.
