Matanzas (Spanish pronunciation: [maˈtansas] provinces of Cuba . Major towns in the province include Cárdenas , Colón , Jovellanos and the capital of the same name, Matanzas . The resort town of Varadero is also located in this province.
Among Cuban provinces, Matanzas is one of the most industrialized , with petroleum wells, refineries, supertanker facilities, and 21 sugar mills to process the harvests of the fields of sugarcane in the province.
Geography [ edit ]
The second largest in Cuba , Matanzas province is largely flat, with its highest point (Pan de Matanzas) at only 380m above sea level .
The north-western coast is largely rocky, with a few beaches, while the north-eastern coast has numerous small cays of its coast (part of Sabana-Camaguey Archipelago ), and scrubland and mangroves near the shoreline. Cuba's northernmost point is located in on Hicacos Peninsula .
The southern coast has one of Cuba's most distinctive features: an enormous marsh , Ciénaga de Zapata that covers both the southern part of the province and the Zapata Peninsula . East of the peninsula lies the Bay of Pigs , the site of the failed US backed invasion .
Municipalities [ edit ]
From 1976 to 2010 Matanzas was sub-divided into 14 municipalities.[3] Varadero was abolished and merged to Cárdenas . Thus Matanzas now has 13 municipalities.
