After leaving the nice beachfront district we drove past the baseball stadium Baseball is very popular in Cuba so it is no surprise that a town this small has its own field. When I first saw the coast line as we arrived in port, I thought it was a set of cranes. The lighting for the field is cantilevered just like a set of port cranes would be.



The team's mascot is an elephant so there is a life size statue of an elephant on the grounds. I could use my best Spanish phrase, “El elefante es grande.” The guide told us they chose it because the elephant is strong and never forgets but implied that the teem didn't have that great a record to remember.
Directly in front of the park is the statue of a baseball player with the bat creating an arc of metal. The park can hold able 30,000 fans.
