RUM GUAYABITA DEL PINAR

Guayabita Del Pinar

The origin of this tasty Vueltabajo liqueur, as we know it today, cannot be defined with precision although we know that they were families coming from Spain at the end of the 16th century on the banks of the Cuyaguateje River, in the province of Pinar del Río, who first mixed the spirits and sugar with the small guava fruit, which grew wildly in the area.
However, the industrial paternity of Guayabita del Pinar is recorded in history in favor of the Basque Lucio Garay Zabala, an entrepreneurial businessman who in 1892 set up a factory to produce drinks. He already knows the secrets, the medicinal and digestive virtues of the liqueur known through the area's own wine merchants. Historians assure that in this enterprise, Garay Zabala also brought his genius and knowledge by bringing the Guayabita to a maximum point of exquisiteness which over time made it win the market including even the international one.

Pinar del Río, designated at the beginning of New Philippines, began to be populated in 1699. It acquired its current name in 1776, due to the fact that its main population center was near the Guamá River, surrounded by extensive pine forests.

This province, located in the westernmost region of Cuba, has an area of ​​10,925 kilometers, divided by two square mountain ranges, the Sierra del Rosario, world reserve of the Biosphere and the Range of Organs, where there are caves estimated among the best in the American continent.
