Rancho Veloz

Rancho Veloz is a Cuban village and consejo popular ("people's council", i.e. hamlet) of the municipality of Corralillo, in Villa Clara Province.

It is not known when slavery was eradicated from the town, but official records show that the last people to be claimed as slaves were in the area around 1879.

During 1937, Father Pertika Unanue, a Spaniard who would become popular among church goers in Rancho Veloz, arrived to the cathedral.

[citation needed] Rancho Veloz is located near the Atlantic coast, between Corralillo and Quemado de Güines, and the Biajaca River flows near it.

It is crossed by the state highway Circuito Norte (CN) and by the railway line Corralillo-Sagua La Grande.
