Las Tunas is one of the provinces of Cuba. Major towns include Puerto Padre, Amancio, and the capital city, Las Tunas (historically Victoria de Las Tunas). It occupies 6% of the country's land mass. The city of Las Tunas is its capital and most populous urban center. It is one of the youngest provinces, having been created in 1975 from territories belonging to the former provinces of Camagüey and Oriente.

Climate and agriculture

The southern coast, which opens onto the Gulf of Guacanayabo, is marshy and characterised by mangroves. This wet area is used to grow sugarcane, as the wet climate is well suited for the crop.

Cattle are also grazed in the province.

History

Las Tunas was part of the Oriente province, until that province was divided into five smaller provinces in 1975.

In the same year, a large development program was started to modernize the town of Las Tunas and connect it by road to Havana.
