Why it's still quiet

Cuba's oldest and most isolated town, cut off by mountains until a road was blasted through in 1965 — cacao, a flat-topped mountain, rivers and a completely different cuisine.

The friction

A very long haul from Havana, which is what keeps it separate.

Background

Baracoa, whose full original name is Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Baracoa, is a municipality and city in Guantánamo Province near the eastern tip of Cuba. The area was visited by Admiral Christopher Columbus on November 27, 1492, and a settlement founded by the first governor of Cuba, the Spanish conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar on August 15, 1511. It is the oldest Spanish settlement in Cuba and was its first capital.
