The eastern quarter of Arriete, originally named Arrieta, was a detached village, united to Ciego Montero in 1977, after the Cuban administrative reform.

Baños (Spanish for "baths"), also known as Balneario de Ciego Montero, lies 5 km north of village's center and is a spa resort.

Arriete-Ciego Montero is 9 km from Espartaco, 11 from Elpidio Gómez, 16 from Cruces, 22 from Camarones, 23 from Cienfuegos, 32 from Ranchuelo and 53 from Santa Clara.

As a brand, part of Nestlé[3] and owned by the Cuban society Los Portales,[4][5] the "Ciego Montero" produces water and soft drinks, as the Gaseosa or the tuKola.

[7] A secondary stop on the same line, named Baños or Balneario de Ciego Montero, serves the local spa resort.
