View of Cuba taken during ISS Expedition 36

Summary[edit]

Description
English: View of Cuba taken during ISS Expedition 36. Bay of Cortés, bordering 4 municipalities (west to east):

Sandino, with the town of Cortés just about seen at the lower edge, by the ensenada of Cortés (better view of that little bay here : ), and a little bit further north from it the Cayaguateje river (en:Cayaguateje river) which at this stage marks the limit between Sandino and Guane. There is also a good view on the El Pesquero lake near the left edge, and north-east from it the Cayaguateje river is also quite visible, with the town of Isabel Rubío north from it (hardly visible) and the town of Guane on the north bank of the river towards the upper left corner.
Guane, with Playa Bailén beside the laguna Cheve;
San Juan y Martinez, with Playa de Galafre beside the Boca de Galafre river mouth (both seen here, then the picture cuts a bit of its coast), and further along the coast comes Punta de Cartas;

San Luis where there is a rather interesting little bay almost completely shut by an island (just east of Punta de Cartas ; no name given in googlemaps either), and further east Costa La Salina with a road leading to it (worth mentioning in this area where there are few roads).
