Las Tunas, Cuba

Capital City

With a population of just under 172,000, Las Tunas is a sleepy provincial capital that offers little to entice foreign residents. The city's reputation as the "City of Sculpture" doesn't translate to a vibrant cultural scene, and the local tourism industry remains underdeveloped, with only two international hotels and 219 B&Bs serving the least visited province in Cuba. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the tropical climate can be oppressive year-round. Unless you have a specific need to be in central-eastern Cuba, there are likely better options for those seeking an expat life in the country.
