The name of this magical spot in Cuba comes from the story of woman, Mary the Fat, abandoned by pirates long ago. She survived and took residence here knowing it was a secret spot for Pirates to dock for refuge and provision. She set up business and the rest is history. Or HERstory. Sitting on the Western Coast of Cuba, Maria La Gorda is the divers dream destination.
