Mayajigua, the Cuban town of wonderful waters.
To the north of the province of
Sancti Spíritus, in the central region of Cuba and in the municipality of
Yaguajay, there is a town that stands out mainly for its wonderful waters:
Mayajigua.
In the past, its waters enjoyed great popularity and fame, attracting people from all parts of the Island and from other countries.
The town was founded in 1819 with the construction of a small wooden church consecrated to San Antonio and dependent on Remedios.
Over time, the people of the area discovered that the water from some of the springs and streams had beneficial health properties. With the construction of modern facilities, interested parties began to arrive from all over the country.
Bishop Espada himself was one of those who came to
Mayajigua to taste the benefits of the miraculous waters. In turn, others such as the Count of the Beautiful Sea, were regular visitors to what would later be known as San José del Lago.
A spa with all the laws came to Mayajigua during the second decade of the 20th century. A professional athlete, who had managed to regain his deteriorating health, allocated part of his capital to the construction of the site.
The
Villa San José del Lago in Mayajigua was the most famous spa in an artificial lake, it even had its own airport.
Today the town of San José del Lago receives many visitors who seek its waters to cure neuralgia, insomnia, and other diseases.

In
Mayajigua in the past there were recreational options for all tastes every weekend, and almost no one remembers the prosperous years of Mayajigua.
Among those places was the
Circulo Social, La Pista, la Casa de la Cultura, various musical groups performed on weekends. The inhabitants of Chambas, Morón and Yaguajay, enjoyed it very much.
Today the children of the people come and go, defy the drizzle and miss the parties, renowned decades ago, clinging to them as if they were anchors thrown into the sea.
The Mayajigua parrandas date back to 1904, when the neighborhoods of La Campana and Puerto Arturo competed by bringing out their congas with the hawk and the rooster as symbols.
The most central places, the cinema, the library, the House of Culture, La Frarancia hotel, the children's circle and other places near the park display an image of calamity.
