Presentation of Cuba

Cuba municipality had 5360 inhabitants in 1990, and it is divided in 4 communes, covering 171 km². It belongs to the Beja District and to the old province of Baixo Alentejo.
The curious toponymical identity with the caribbean country of the same name is motive of countless jokes, especially since Alentejo is traditionally a region of communist majority. "Cuba" means in fact "tub", and the variant "cuva" also exists; this is also the etymology for the other Cuba’s name.
