El Uvero

Holguín Province


Four kilometers and a short taxi ride east of Guardalavaca's main resort strip, this modest-looking local house in the village of Cuatro Caminos is well worth the small effort to get here. Pride of the menu is the tres hermanos (three brothers) consisting of prawns, lobster and white fish.

The place is guarded by an uvero (sea grape tree) as the name implies.
