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.
