Cuba is a small Alentejo town with basic services. Cante Alentejano, a regional form of polyphonic singing recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, is popular here. Performances are spontaneous and can't be arranged in advance — for the best chance to hear it, visit the town's taverns in the evening.

Cuba has cafes, a small supermarket, and some accommodation options.

The Road

About 2 km outside Cuba, a left turn off the main road at the Toros de Nunez sign is possible, but arrows don't point this way. This route goes through private property with several signs warning of gado bravo (aggressive cattle). The safer option is to stay on the road.

Camino de Sant…

The off-road route via Toros de Nuñez is very pretty. In September 2021, all of the ‘dangerous ‘ bulls were behind fences. No traffic on this route and it’s easy to follow using the WP maps. At a couple of points the route is not the logical path. Lots of industrial olives and almonds as well as the cattle.
At the end of this path you must climb a metal gate (easy) and return to road for 3km - then to a path for 2km.
