The symbol of the city of Camag�ey is the clay pot or tinaj�n, 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. Local legend has it that if you drink water from a girl's personal tinaj�n, you will fall in love with the girl and never leave her. The main secondary education institutions are the University of Camag�ey and the Instituto Pedag�gico de Camag�ey
