. The Cuba review. Cuba -- Periodicals. THE CUBA REVIEW 11. Hormiguero INIill HORMIGUERO SUGAR ESTATE The Spanish word "Hormi^iaero, " translated to English, means "Anthill, " and it is any- thing hut the definition of one's impressions after a visit to this estate. To reach Hormiguero one takes the train on the Culjan Central Railway from Cienf uegos to the station HormJguero, a distance of eighteen miles, where change is m.ade to the plantation railroad, over which a small car drawn by an Ajnerican mule takes you to the sugar m.ill and estate only a short distance aw^ay.
