The symbol of the city of Camagüey is the clay pot or tinajón, used to capture rain water to be used later, keeping it fresh. Clay pots are everywhere, some as small as a hand, some large enough for two people to stand up in, either as monuments or for real use. A local legend is that if you drink water from a "tinajon", you will stay in Camagüey. (Quien tome agua del tinajón, en Camagüey se queda). Meaning that if you meet a Camagüayense girl, you will fall in love with her and never leave.The main secondary education institutions are the University of Camagüey and the Instituto Pedagógico de Camagüey.

Located on a plain in the middle of its province, the municipality borders with Vertientes, Florida, Esmeralda, Sierra de Cubitas, Minas, Sibanicú and Jimaguayú.
