As European powers like Spain, England, and France vied for control over trade routes and colonies, illicit sea raiders took advantage of the chaos. Cuba, with its numerous coves, hidden bays, and complex coastline, became a favorite haunt for these pirates.</p><p><em>"In an honest Service, there is thin Commons, low Wages, and hard Labour; in this, Plenty and Satiety, Pleasure and Ease, Liberty and Power; and who would not balance Creditor on this Side, when all the Hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sower Look or two at choaking. No, a merry Life and a short one shall be my Motto."</em></p><p>—Pirate Captain Bartholomew Robert</p><h3><strong>Notable Cuban pirates and their stories</strong></h3><figure id="figure-691y94tlfm3237npt"><img id="691y94tlfm3237npt" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/36o4w6wy9QX4uVWy2P97Df5Trw3zy4YjjtboUcklb3xgRsScZpHZ5ZAtnlVn5DXn.jpg" alt="Panoramic view of Miami Beach urban landscape.

Jacques de Sores</h3><p>Jacques de Sores was a French pirate and corsair who attacked and burnt Havana in 1555.</p><p>Other than his attack on Havana, little is known of de Sores. He was nicknamed "The Exterminating Angel" ("L'Ange Exterminateur"). He was the leader of a band of Huguenot pirates and a lieutenant or former lieutenant of another French pirate, François Le Clerc, who was called "Pegleg" or "Jambe de Bois" on account of his wooden leg. Le Clerc and Sores had set out from France in 1553 with three royal ships and a number of privateers under commission from Francis I of France who was envious of the riches returning to Spain from the New World. Le Clerc had raided Santiago de Cuba in 1554, and some accounts mention a raid on Santiago de Cuba by de Sores, although whether this was as part of the attack by Le Clerc is not clear. He may have used Cayo Romano and Cayo Coco in the archipelago of Jardines del Rey adjacent to the northern Cuban coast as a base of operations.</p><figure id="figure-j6y4hgbb8sm3239urh"><img id="j6y4hgbb8sm3239urh" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/12pQa8MD1DW7J1ZZhYKPSaRTTXTsCGt0u5nk1Ic2EtRm7fmHbTj7GnGJS8FvRj3g.jpg" alt="View at the Belem tower or Torre de Belem" title="View at the Belem tower or Torre de Belem" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 30%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="30%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/12pQa8MD1DW7J1ZZhYKPSaRTTXTsCGt0u5nk1Ic2EtRm7fmHbTj7GnGJS8FvRj3g.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 30%;"></figure><h3>2. Sir Henry Morgan <br>(1635 – 25 August 1688)</h3><p>Although not Cuban by birth, Morgan's legendary raids often involved Cuban waters. His bold tactics and audacious attacks on Spanish settlements made him a celebrated and infamous figure in pirate history. Morgan conducted many successful and highly lucrative raids on Puerto del Príncipe (now Camagüey in modern Cuba) and Porto Bello (now Portobelo in modern Panamá).</p><h3>3. Diabolito or Little Devil <br>died July 1823)</h3><p>Was a 19th-century Cuban pirate. One of the more violent of the era, he engaged the United States Navy and Revenue Marine Service several times, being one of the main fugitives hunted and pursued later by American Naval forces during the West Indies anti-piracy operations of the United States in the Caribbean during the 1820s. He was also known for having a mixed-race crew, which included “English, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Mulattoes, and Negroes.”</p><h3>4. Gilberto Girón</h3><p>French privateer. Known by the Spanish as the lord of La Confiera. In 1604 he was anchored in the Bay of Manzanillo - eastern Cuban region - when he received information that the bishop of Cuba, Jamaica and Florida, Fray Juan de las Cabezas Altamirano - who had settled in Bayamo - was in the Yara herd. Gilberto Girón marched to that place at the head of 26 men and, after killing two locals, kidnapped the bishop and canon Francisco Puebla, administrator of the church's assets in the region. After leading the hostages aboard his ship, he demanded a hefty ransom for them. Two privateers - one Genoese, the other Flemish - who were also anchored in the bay of Manzanillo, perhaps because they were Catholic, served as guarantors for the bishop until the population raised the required ransom. Girón freed the bishop, but left the imprisoned clergyman as collateral.</p><figure id="figure-p0fhyu7ezrm323rspz"><img id="p0fhyu7ezrm323rspz" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1464992662/photo/pirate-and-nautical-ancient-grunge-map-of-the-world.jpg?b=1&s=2048x2048&w=0&k=20&c=MQVp0BY5jGLGGJywyhgd3KaCiUifLJdLl1WlwLbIqGk=" alt="Pirate and nautical ancient grunge map of the world" title="Pirate and nautical ancient grunge map of the world" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 3/2; object-position: undefined% 20%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="3:2" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined%" data-positionY="20%" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure><h3><strong>The Impact of Piracy<br>in the Cuban Culture</strong></h3><p>The stories and legends of pirates have significantly influenced Cuban culture.

The Fascinating World of Cuban Pirates: A Journey Through History

<p style="">Our island was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 when he landed on the shores near the actual villa of Holguín. It was his second discovery in the new continent, after the Bahamas. During the 16th Century, the conqueror Diego Velázquez led a colonization campaign from the east to the west of the island. Of this campaign, the seven first colonial villas in Cuba were born: Baracoa, Bayamo, Trinidad, Sancti Spiritus, Santiago de Cuba, Camagüey (formerly called Puerto Príncipe), and La Habana.&nbsp;</p><p style=""><br></p><h2 data-mce-style="padding-left: 320px;" style="padding-left: 320px;">1</h2><p><img id="9n4avmkcvom1h93mih" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1481606691/photo/sunset-over-baracoa-bay-cuba.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=AkIgZa0sNTI3Lr1XWhFILh4mndU0zCj_r8prqDlFrnE=" alt="Sunset over Baracoa Bay, Cuba" title="Sunset over Baracoa Bay, Cuba" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1481606691/photo/sunset-over-baracoa-bay-cuba.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=AkIgZa0sNTI3Lr1XWhFILh4mndU0zCj_r8prqDlFrnE=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" style="border-color: rgba(229,231,235,var(--tw-border-opacity)); border-image-source: none; --tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(62,172,255,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-brightness: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-contrast: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-grayscale: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-hue-rotate: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-invert: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-saturate: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-sepia: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-drop-shadow: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-blur: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-brightness: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-contrast: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-grayscale: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-invert: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-opacity: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-saturate: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-backdrop-sepia: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-transform: translateX(var(--tw-translate-x)) translateY(var(--tw-translate-y)) rotate(var(--tw-rotate)) skewX(var(--tw-skew-x)) skewY(var(--tw-skew-y)) scaleX(var(--tw-scale-x)) scaleY(var(--tw-scale-y)); --tw-border-opacity: 1; --tw-filter: var(--tw-blur) var(--tw-brightness) var(--tw-contrast) var(--tw-grayscale) var(--tw-hue-rotate) var(--tw-invert) var(--tw-saturate) var(--tw-sepia) var(--tw-drop-shadow); --tw-backdrop-filter: var(--tw-backdrop-blur) var(--tw-backdrop-brightness) var(--tw-backdrop-contrast) var(--tw-backdrop-grayscale) var(--tw-backdrop-hue-rotate) var(--tw-backdrop-invert) var(--tw-backdrop-opacity) var(--tw-backdrop-saturate) var(--tw-backdrop-sepia); --tw-bg-opacity: 1; width: 640px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; object-position: center center;"></p><h3 style="">1511 | Baracoa</h3><p>It was the first villa and capital, originally called Villa de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Baracoa, located on a bay in the northeastern side of Cuba. La Cruz de La Parra, one of the 29 cruxes that Columbus planted on the American lands during his trips, is still preserved and exhibited in the Mayor Church of this villa.&nbsp;</p><p>Surrounded by people with good Caribbean vibes, its main economic activities are the Cocoa and Robusta Coffee production, and its widely known and delicious coconut desserts.</p><p>With a special and diverse flora and fauna, Baracoa immediately attracts also all nature lovers and adventurous tourists.

It is the reason why we celebrate every year the Day of the Cuban Culture, and it’s considered a National Monument.&nbsp;</p><p>Rich in traditions and history, a city whose inhabitants preferred to see burning before giving it away to the Spaniards, it was the center of national events like the beginning of the Independence War against Spain in 1868 and the birth of “La Bayamesa”, our National Hymn. Today, Bayamo still preserves some original buildings that were made before the big fire, and its people still move around on horse carriages, like they did in colonial times.</p><p>Its industries are quite wide, remarking the milk and dairy products production, like condensed milk, ice cream, and cheese, and other industries like sugar and meat.</p><p><br></p><h2 style="padding-left: 320px;" data-mce-style="padding-left: 320px;">3</h2><figure id="figure-ojbu2vrrfgm1l38cf7" class=""><img id="ojbu2vrrfgm1l38cf7" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/851674552/photo/view-over-trinidad-cuba.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=HF503XAHkRSvB5KBgtqn-hDmw84Xem6C2TXogXicTuw=" alt="View over Trinidad, Cuba" title="View over Trinidad, Cuba" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/851674552/photo/view-over-trinidad-cuba.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=HF503XAHkRSvB5KBgtqn-hDmw84Xem6C2TXogXicTuw=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>1514 | Trinidad and Sancti Spíritus</h3><p>Originally called Magón by the indigenous communities that lived in that area, located in the south center of Cuba, it began like a small primitive villa living only from the meat production and trading, and developed into the most important sugarcane producing city in the world. All thanks to the entrepreneurship of its people.</p><p>Even if going to Cuba -doesn't matter which part- is like a time travel, it's in Trinidad where you're going to experience it the most. Walking through its cobblestone streets and historical plazas, in front of the high-ceiling houses with red-tile roofs, will immerse you in the authentic early 19th Century.</p><p>It's also the city where the <em>guayabera </em>(cuban traditional buttoned shirt) was born. The name comes from the words <em>yayabero</em>, gentilic of the peoples living around the Yayabo river, in the outsides of Sancti Spíritus, and <em>guayaba </em>(the guava fruit), because the farmers always used to carry a guava in the pocket of the shirt as a quick snack.</p><p><br></p><h2 style="padding-left: 320px;" data-mce-style="padding-left: 320px;">4</h2><figure id="figure-n1x056atxhm2atzq7i" class=""><img id="n1x056atxhm2atzq7i" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/896408584/photo/view-to-the-city-center-with-old-houses-and-basilica-of-our-lady-of-the-assumption-santiago-de.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=Lk_T71FQjJY-cx-nWnoNlrpJSNzb56Ka1fuSxY_A3fs=" alt="View to the city center with old houses and Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba" title="View to the city center with old houses and Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/896408584/photo/view-to-the-city-center-with-old-houses-and-basilica-of-our-lady-of-the-assumption-santiago-de.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=Lk_T71FQjJY-cx-nWnoNlrpJSNzb56Ka1fuSxY_A3fs=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><h3>1515 | Santiago de Cuba<br></h3><p>Located on a bay in the southeastern side of the island, Santiago is recognized as the Capital City of History. </p><p>With the traditonal Morisco accent of its inhabitants, it's the city where the <em>bolero</em> (one of the Cuban traditional music styles) was born, in the late 1800s'. It's where the first coffe plantations in Cuba existed, today among the most important products of our national production. Its cemetery shelters the remains of José Martí, our National Hero and Intellectual Leader of the Independence War, and the mausoleum of Fidel Castro, leader of the Cuban Revolution. The Revolution, in fact, started in this same city in 1953 with the assault of Cuartel Moncada, one of Batista's Headquarters .</p><p>There are 15 museums y numerous cultural insitutions in the historic center, and by the bay there's the Castle of San Pedro de la Roca, declared UNESCO Heritage for being the best preserved example of colonial military architecture.</p><p><br></p><h2 style="padding-left: 320px;" data-mce-style="padding-left: 320px;">5</h2><figure id="figure-be5yu52yzm2aw26s9" class=""><img id="be5yu52yzm2aw26s9" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/186860983/photo/camag%C3%BCey-from-above-cuba.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=_oIINBQkg8VX58HE8z-2JTKDRtpXv_Zdsgrz91WrqH4=" alt="Camagüey from above, Cuba" title="Camagüey from above, Cuba" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/186860983/photo/camag%C3%BCey-from-above-cuba.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=_oIINBQkg8VX58HE8z-2JTKDRtpXv_Zdsgrz91WrqH4=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>1519 | Camagüey</h3><p>Located in the heart of Cuba, founded under the name of Santa María del Puerto Príncipe, the name was changed later to honour Camagüebax, the aboriginal chief of that area.
