Calle Independencia - Boulevard

Calle Independencia, one of the city's largest avenues, is pedestrianized betweenJB Zayas and Maceo. That stretch is known as the 'Boulevard', and is one of the best parts of town for boutique shopping in Santa Clara.

Shopping

Most visitors to Cuba look for two things when shopping: rum and cigars. And while you can find them in droves (and always of the highest quality), there is more to be found. Cuban handicrafts and artworks are top-notch, and you can also find pretty unique tomes at some of the city's bookstores. The main shopping artery is a pedestrianized stretch of Calle Independencia, nicknamed the 'Boulevard'.
