Esquerra is not the restaurant I want to recommend, but my favorite secret little spot right next door to it is a bar/restaurant called CUBA LIBRE, my not so "secret" favorite bar/restaurant in town, looks like a small italian bar from front, but it has a fantastic rooftop patio not many know about, and an absolute gorgeous lunch room at the back courtyard decorated with beautiful photos of old movie stars like Sophia Loren and old furniture... the food is very good for lunch and not bad for dinner if you have dinner in the patio is well worth it.
The bar serves fantastic cocktails and drinks, along with best coffee and BEST desserts/ icecreams in town! their icecreams are all natural and come from Cienfuegos, very inexpensive. definitely go here for at least the ice cream and coffee, you will love it.

The bicycle ride to Playa Ancón is a great outdoor adventure, and once there you can snorkel, catch some rays or use the swimming pool or Ping-Pong table. The best route by far is via the small seaside village of La Boca (18km one way). this is not for everyone, but most will love this, you must be ok riding a a bike for about an 1hr or more but the beautiful scenes and relax ride is definitely worth it.

This beautiful protected national park consists of many beautiful trails, some farm style restaurants, and beautiful waterfalls such as Javira Waterfall, El Cubano Waterfall, and Salto del Caburni. There are also stables and opportunities for horseback riding. If you hike to El Cubano from Trinidad, you'll clock up a total of approximately 16km.
With a stop for lunch in the ranchón , it can make an excellent day trip. Alternatively, for CUC$25/each Lucia can arrange horses with a guide to take you to one of the beautiful waterfalls and a day long excursion.

Arts & Culture
A beautiful mansion that belonged to the Borrell family from 1827 to 1830. Later the building passed to a German planter named Kanter, or Cantero, and it's still called Casa Cantero.
Reputedly, Dr Justo Cantero acquired vast sugar estates by poisoning an old slave trader and marrying his widow, who also suffered an untimely death. Cantero's ill-gotten wealth is well displayed in the stylish neo classical decoration of the rooms. The view of Trinidad from the top of the tower alone is worth the price of admission. Visit before 11am, when the tour buses start rolling in.

No Santería museum can replicate the ethereal spiritual experience of Regla de Ocha (also known as Santería, Cuba's main religion of African origin), though this house has a try with a Santería altar to Yemayá, Goddess of the Sea, laden with myriad offerings of fruit, water and stones.
The house is presided over by santeros (priests of the Afro-Cuban religion Santería), who'll emerge from the back patio and surprise you with some well-rehearsed tourist spiel. On the goddess's anniversary, March 19, ceremonies are performed day and night.
