Casa de las Americas, La Habana - Cuba

This is Malacoff Square, in the city of Cárdenas, the first public building of its kind in Cuba. Its construction dates from 1859. With a cast iron structure, a technique previously unknown in America, it became an example of iron-glass architecture. There are plans to restore the currently abandoned building.

Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán (born 06.02.1932 in Havanna, died 28.10.1959, probably due to a plane crash over the sea between Camagüey and Havanna) was one of the most important Cuban revolutionists. Cienfuegos name translates in English to "a hundred fires". The monument and museum shown in the images, the "Monumento y MuseoCamilo Cienfuegos", was built after his death in Yaguajay, at the site of the barracks of the Batista's forces during the 1958 battle. Che Guevara, who was close to Cienfuegos, named his son Camilo in his honor. I met Camilo one day at an exhibition of his photos in my hometown, see 2nd PiP (original photo by www.info-graz.at ). It's a small world!

"Continue your work" - another version of this "monument" in the village Chambas - central Cuba HFF and a wonderful weekend - stay patient and safe!

Hasta la Victoria Siempre! Camagüey - end

Camagüey

The factory north of Baracoa was opened in 1963 by Che Guevara. The PiP shows the same sign 10 years ago. To be honest, I liked the old one much more. The chocolate by the way is made with local cacao and tastes excellent.

This trip in February was possible luckily just before the lockdown. After a long journey there from Vienna to Munich to Havana and after 5 hrs delay there (they were repairing the plane) we arrived in Santiago de Cuba at 3 am in the morning.
