The facility was inaugurated on August 16th, 1981, as a tribute to the birthday of our Commander in Chief, Fidel Castro Ruz. In 1989 the construction of masonry and tile cabins begins and it has continued until today.

 Origin of the name: The name of the beach is taken from “La Altura” farm, which occupied a wide area of ??land and belonged to the pseudo-republican president Carlos Prio Socarras. About 4Km before reaching the facility, there is a small elevation with buildings that is called “La Altura”.
