Map showing Granma Province in Cuba

Granma is one of the provinces of Cuba. Its capital is Bayamo. Other towns include Manzanillo (a port on the Gulf of Guacanayabo) and Pilón.

The province was named after the ship Granma, used by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro to land on Cuba with several guerillas.

As a result, the province is full of reminders of the Cuban Revolution, with the mountains full of plaques commemorating the 1959 struggle against Fulgencio Batista.
