Santi Spiritus City, approximately 640 miles east of Havana City, was founded in June, 1514 by Diego Velazquez, but in 1522 it was transferred to its current location on the banks of the Yayabo River while searching for economic improvements. With its church finished in 1680 after 60 years of construction, its bridge over the river finished by 1825, and its great increase in population the town was granted the title of Spanish City.

Among its many attractions, the visitor can go to the old historical part of the village, where more than 2 thousand buildings with architectural value stand high and where different construction styles coincide: reminiscences of Spanish and regional Baroque and the Neoclassical style.  Many of them were constructed between the 17th century and the 19th century.

The visitor can see the Teatro Principal (Main Theatre built in 1839) and the Parochial Church, finished in 1680 after 60 years of construction. Its narrow and stone-paved streets always wakes the curiosity in the visitors, like Llano St which ends in the banks of the Yayabo River and has humble houses on both sides built with the colonial style; houses that have resisted the passing of time and that have wide patios where the light, the colourful stained-glass windows, and the age halo give them a distinctive touch.

However, there are beautiful and opulent houses as well, located on Manuelico Díaz and Céspedes, which were built during the times of great economic growth of the sugar mill owners. No more than 500 meters from the Old Quarters, the Bridge of the Yayabo River stands, awarded with the title of National Monument due to it being the only bridge that still stands from colonial times. This engineering masterpiece was built in 1825. It is a solid structure of lime, sand, and bricks containing five archs. On October 10, 1978, the Old Quarters of Santi Spiritus (Holy Spirit) was declared National Monument.

One of the options that tourists visit in the former village of Santi Spiritus is the mountain range, especially the Escambray Mountains located in the south part of the city in the Guamuhaya Range, considered one of the most important mountain ranges in the country due to its rich fauna, and vast forests. There, the visitor can find the Pico de Potrerillo National Park, rising 931 meters above sea level, a well protected area devoted to the maintenance of the local flora and fauna.  Another interesting option is the excursion to San Juan Peak, 1140 meters high. The whole area is bathed by the waters of diverse rivers that flow into the Caribbean Sea, such as the Yayabo River, Zaza River, Agabama River, and Jatibonico River.

From the  Rancho Hatuey Hotel, Encanto Del Rijo Hotel, The Zaza Hotel (on the outskirts of the city), Los Laureles Hotel, The Plaza Hotel, The Hostal, and The San José del Lago Hotel, the tourists have the chance of participating in tours to the mountain ranges of Santi Spiritus and to its monumental buildings; especially the tours to the Evangelical Convention Los Pinos Nuevos, the Parochial Church, The Holy Spirit Church, the former jail, Bartolomé Maso Street, and the small village surrounding the former sugar mill Narcisa, among many other sites.

A stay in the village of the Yayabo River is very comfortable and a great option if you are preparing to continue your journey to the eastern provinces after the long journey from Havana City.

If you are looking for a memorable stay and do not wish to spend a huge amount then 3 star hotels are the best option. This type of accommodation is best described as accommodation that offers ‘great value for money’. If you closely study the difference between 3 star places and 4 or 5 star accommodation, you would realize that the most of the facilities offered by 4 or 5 star hotels are offered by these 3 star hotels as well. However the difference is in the pricing of both.

Most 3 star accommodation offers some really great facilities. You get to stay in rooms that are clean, well-maintained and well equipped. The rooms usually have all the modern amenities like internet, television, telephone and so on. You are often also provided with a sofa, dressing table and cupboard to arrange your baggage.

Usually, 3 star accommodation will have its own restaurant. However, you can always find one outside the hotel in case the facility is not available within.

However, this should not be a worry at all for you if you are going to take your own vehicle. If you are not taking a vehicle then you can always book a transport beforehand.

3 star resorts often offer you a state of the art swimming pool and gymnasium, just like any other top-notch hotel. You can enjoy the bar as well if they have one. One of the highlights of 3 star hotels is the fact that they strive hard to offer maximum comfort to the guests at a reasonable price. You will notice that the room service and housekeeping is absolutely amazing with their work. The hygiene level of the rooms and bathrooms is way above average.

The fact that 3 star accommodation concentrate more on necessities rather than royal features gives them a chance to focus hundred percent on their basic tasks. It is ideal for a small family to stay in a 3 star hotel. In fact, it has been observed that while on a holiday, very few people tend to spend long hours inside the hotel premises and hence most of the features offered by these hotels go unused.

So if you are looking for a perfect blend of comfort and features at an affordable price, you can opt for a 3 star hotel.

If you have ever hosted a website, or are thinking of starting one up for your business, then you know how important it is to have the right features. For one thing, you will need plenty of bandwidth if you are to service all of your customers equally, and if you wish to achieve this, you will need quite a bit of space and system resources that others will not be able to access.

When it comes to e-commerce today, it all comes down to whose web page works the fastest. If a customer attempts to log onto your page and cannot due to bandwidth or speed issues, then you will more than likely lose customers to your competitor. This opens up the need for dedicated servers, and there are plenty of advantages to renting one. With every good plan comes disadvantages, however, and we will cover both sides of the argument.

Advantages:

-Modern web servers are very powerful, much more powerful than their predecessors. By having a dedicated box, you will be able to take advantage of all the power that machine has to offer rather than sharing a slice of it with other users.

-You will have more space, and you will be able to use that space to serve files and even expand your website if you so desire.

-You will not be subject to mass upgrades from the host. Typically, a server host will update a shared server periodically, but as the tenant of a dedicated web server, you will determine which upgrades are necessary, though you will have to pay for them when the need arises.

-Your web server will move relatively fast, allowing customers quick access to various parts of your site.

Disadvantages:

-A dedicated web server can be extremely expensive. With that being the case you will need to evaluate your needs and determine whether or not you really need one. If you do not, then you might want to stick with the shared option.

- Dedicated web servers are easy to pick out on location. They might be situated behind robust firewalls and they may have physical security, but your box will be easy to see on any network.

-You will not receive the same mandatory updates that shared users receive. Typically, a host will determine that an update is best for multiple users, but if you want an operating system upgrade, you will need to pay for it.

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons to rent dedicated web servers and only a few reasons to avoid them. The only real problem you may run into is breaking even at the end of the month. So long as you keep an eye on your profits and customers however, this should not be a huge problem. In the end, it is up to you and the choice you make will affect your business in ways you could never imagine.
