Cuba, Biran

      

Biran, Finca Las Manacas

(CW 2003)

On August 13, 1926 a man named Fidel Castro was born here. His parents were Angel Castro and Lina Ruz. Their graves are on the premises.
      
Biran, south of Cueto. To get to Finca las Manacas take the turnoff seven kilometer west of Cueto. Follow the road for another 7 kilometer to the sugar mill "Central Loynaz Hechevarria". From there a road to the east will bring you after another 7 kilometer to Biran. Ask around for the last three kilometer (it's a turn to the left) to Finca Las Manacas. In 2001 they were renovating the ranch completely and you were not allowed to enter the complex. According to some officials you could visit the ranch again from December 2001.
