Among the most important aspects we highlight, for instance, the legend of Yara, one of the oldest ones in the country. This legend has come down to us in the following way: it was told that when Hatuey, a native resisting the conquest of the Spanish, was dying, yelled in a way that a light, coming from the flames, extended throughout the entire area. Whether it is true or not, there are people claiming that the territory gives off a very characteristic glow.
