Caibarién is a city situated on the north coast of Cuba, lying in Villa Clara province. It serves as a shipping point for agricultural commodities, such as sugarcane, tobacco, and fruit. It also serves as a sponge-fishing center. Its population is about 40,000. Its hotels are now destroyed by lack of care, and most concrete houses are crumbling on to its streets. The piers that once served as shipping points for agricultural commodities have fallen into the bay. The two sugar mills that used to send their sugar exports through the harbor are now closed and crumbling.
