  Condition of Road from Pilon to Santiago de Cuba
Rob Prouse 7th January 2008
I will be touring by bicycle around the Granma and Santiago de Cuba province in February. I read in the guide book that the road along the coast from Pilon to Santiago de Cuba suffered a fair amount of damage in a hurricane a couple of years ago and that it had been re-routed along beaches in places. It said that the road was not passable in places during high tide or during storms.

Because we are traveling by bike and our schedule is tight, we cannot afford to end up delayed along that road and therefore may have to adjust our plans.

Does anyone know the current conditions of this road or know who I could contact for information?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Rob...

On a bike you should be OK.
Though I have not traveled the road, I spoke with someone that lives in Pilon, and
they said, with a 4X4 yes, reg. car... no way...
Bike can do the 4X4 thing.

Hope this helps.
