Nicaro-Levisa

Nicaro-Levisa,[2] also Levisa-Nicaro, is a Cuban town and consejo popular ("people's council", i.e. hamlet) of the municipality of Mayarí, in Holguín Province, formed by the settlements of Nicaro and Levisa.

Nicaro was originally named Lengua de Pajaro, which translated into English means "bird's tongue", due to the shape of its peninsula, as viewed from an air ride.

Nicaro lies on a peninsula in the middle of the bay and Levisa more in the inland, very close to the villages of La Italiana and El Purio.

The town is surrounded by the Sierra Cristal mountains, part of the Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa range.

It counts a railway serving the open mine named "Mina Martí" (for nickel and cobalt exploitation),[3] and the nickel plant "Comandante René Ramos Latour",[4][5] located near the airport.
