Anticipation of the Peninsula

Its construction, far from obeying a romantic ideal, responded to events, since the second half of the eighteenth century, began to encourage the economy of the Greater Antilles. The Villager to know about the invention of the railroad and all its benefits for one of the journeys undertaken in the United States, warns that was before the ideal solution to connect to Port au Prince to the northern port of Nuevitas. Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe, the second largest town after Havana, according to Antonio Bachiller y Morales, was, shortly after its foundation, the loss of marine conditions in the broad and well protected bay on the north coast Nuevitas.
