Birán

Birán is a village in Holguín Province of Cuba, hamlet and consejo popular of Cueto, best known as the birthplace of Ramón, Fidel, Raúl and Juanita Castro. Their father Ángel Castro y Argiz owned a 93-square-kilometre (36 sq mi) plantation there.

Until the 1976 municipal reform, the village was part of the neighboring municipality of Mayarí.

A farm in Birán was the birthplace of former Cuban revolutionary leaders Ramón Castro Ruz, Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro and their sister Juanita Castro.[citation needed]

It is located 30 kilometers (19 mi) south-west of Mayarí and 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) south of Cueto, in the foothills of the Nipe Mountains (Sierra de Nipe).
