The eastern Cuban province of Ciego de Avila offers unique cultural traditions and a centuries-old history, in addition to its exuberant nature. They go hand in hand in a true combination that can meet the expectations of tourists, many of whom are attracted by the city of Morón. In fact, the city of Morón was founded 471 years ago, on May 1543, by families who migrated from Sancti Spiritus, in addition to sailors who navigated along the north coast looking for adventures and fortune. Sites of inestimable value like the Júcaro-Morón Fortifications, a defensive structure linked to Cuba's war of independence, are related to legends and customs that have been transmitted from generation to generation. The most popular legend refers to Morón's Rooster, which has become a symbol of that Cuban city and was immortalized in a sculpture by Cuban renowned artist Rita Longa in the 1980s. When working on the monument, the sculptor was assisted by Armando Alonso, who created the first rooster in the 1950s. One of the stories on the city's name is its foundation on a hillock, which coincides with the geographic definition of "morón", which means small mound or hillock in Spanish. Another story refers to the Spanish city of Morón de la Frontera, in Seville, where the story of the world-famous bird began. The city's buildings are mainly eclectic, with houses with plinths decorated with tiles, in addition to wooden and iron railings with geometric figures. Morón also has a Catholic church, the oldest constructive relic that is still active and the only one in the country that has a crenellated tower and battlements on its walls. The building was used as a military garrison during the wars of independence, in the so-called Chambelona (Lollypop) War and in the latest war for national liberation. In addition, in a plot of land across from the church, the first bull fight was held in Cuba by Spanish expert bullfighters in 1851. Among the city's historic peculiarities is the circulation of the first newspaper, "El Faro de Morón", in Cuba in 1855, directed by Francisco Fernández. That same year, the first horse-drawn carriage circulated on the city's streets for the first time. Due to all these, Morón is an excellent complement for the tourism industry, receiving thousands of vacationers every year with the singing of the bronze bird, as they visit city in search of leisure accompanied by one-of-a-kind elements contributed by local history, legends and centuries-old traditions.
