The Cienfuegos area known as Punta Gorda is a narrow piece of land that juts faces the ocean. In the early 20th centuries this area of the city was hosted mainly aristocrats, this is the reason why now you find many beautiful old homes and art nouveau villas in Punta Gorda.
Some of the homes are painted in pink, yellow and blue which give the area a unique look.
The road runs along the ocean and is lined by palm trees.

On the very tip of this stretch there is a miniature park - a great place to rest after that long march. There is a small outhouse and of course an open bar with booze and cigarettes.
