Such revolutionary billboards are indispensable for Cuba. This one in eastern Cuba is about the 60th anniversary of the liberation of "Songo la Maya". Unfortunately the old hand painted billboards are more and more replaced by photographs over the last years.

Only 2 m away from the summit of Cerro Torre ;-)) - scanned slide, Minolta X700 see PiP's for the real one, Cerro Torre (3102 m) and Torre Egger to the right:

The welcome sign to the now abandoned sugar mill ruins of "Simon Bolivar".

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.

The whole region's most famous park is Parque Provincial Aconcagua, home of 6962 m tall Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak outside the Himalayas and a favorite climbing destination. Reaching the summit requires a commitment of at least 13 to 15 days, including acclimatization time. A part of Aconcagua is seen in the far background. The peak to the left is Agua Salada Norte (4375 m), the mountains to the right are above 5000 m. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

Cubans are proud of their sugar mills. Many "welcome signs" include symbols like these three chimneys here.

"Welcome sign" for the sugar mill "Antonio Guiteras Holmes" in the village Delicias. It's mill no. 611 of Cuba and still in operation.
