Day 17 - Southwest of Havana

Pinar del Rio is a province and city southwest of Havana.   The province encompasses three mountain ranges, a barrier reef with 30 premier diving sites, hot springs, a national park, Biosphere Reserve, and fertile farm land.   Many accomplished artists and athletes hail from Pinar del Rio, including  major league baseball players like Alexei Fernando Ramírez.  He plays second base and shortstop for the Chicago White Sox.
