An incredibly shaky video of traveling in Granma Province Cuba, April 2013 through the Sierra Maestra Mountain Range from Pilon to Bayamo. You might want to take anti-nausea pills before watching. Not the best, I admit, but it is a record of this splendid trip that took almost 3 hours.
Music "Allusions" provided by the 9th Brothers.
The Sierra Maestra mountain range in Cuba is where Fidel Castro set up the command of the Cuban Revolution two years before seizing Havana in 1959. Today, the mountain has become one of the island's main tourist attractions. Duration: 01:44

This film is a general travelogue about Cuba before Fidel Castro’s Revolution.

History of Cuba:
Cuba was launched as an independent republic in 1902 with Estrada Palma as its first president, although the Platt Amendment, reluctantly accepted by the Cubans, kept the island under U.S. protection and gave the United States the right to intervene in Cuban affairs. United States investment in Cuban enterprises increased, and plantations, refineries, railroads, and factories passed to American (and thus absentee) ownership. This economic dependence led to charges of "Yankee imperialism," strengthened when a revolt headed by José Miguel Gómez led to a new U.S. military occupation (1906–9). William Howard Taft and Charles Magoon acted as provisional governors. After supervising the elections, the U.S. forces withdrew, only to return in 1912 to assist putting down black protests against discrimination.
Sugar production increased, and in World War I the near-destruction of Europe's beet-sugar industry raised sugar prices to the point where Cuba enjoyed its "dance of the millions." The boom was followed by collapse, however, and wild fluctuations in prices brought repeated hardship. Politically, the country suffered fraudulent elections and increasingly corrupt administrations. Gerardo Machado as president (1925–33) instituted vigorous measures, forwarding mining, agriculture, and public works, then abandoned his great projects in favor of suppressing opponents. Machado was overthrown in 1933, and from then until 1959 Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar, a former army sergeant, dominated the political scene, either directly as president or indirectly as army chief of staff. With Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration a new era in U.S. relations with Cuba began: Sumner Welles was sent as ambassador, the Platt Amendment was abandoned in 1934, the sugar quota was revised, and tariff rulings were changed to favor Cuba. Economic problems continued, however, complicated by the difficulties associated with U.S. ownership of many of the sugar mills and the continuing need for diversification.
In March, 1952, shortly before scheduled presidential elections, Batista seized power through a military coup. Cuban liberals soon reacted, but a revolt in 1953 by Fidel Castro was abortive. In 1956, however, Castro landed in eastern Cuba and took to the Sierra Maestra, where, aided by Ernesto "Che" Guevara, he reformed his ranks and waged a much-publicized guerrilla war. The United States withdrew military aid to Batista in 1958, and Batista finally fled on Jan. 1, 1959.
Land and People of Cuba:
Cuba is the largest and westernmost of the islands of the West Indies and lies strategically at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, only 90 mi (145 km) from Florida. The south coast is washed by the Caribbean Sea, the north coast by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and in the east the Windward Passage separates Cuba from Haiti. The shores are often marshy and are fringed by coral reefs and cays. There are many fine seaports – Havana (the chief import point), Cienfuegos, Matanzas, Cárdenas, Nuevitas, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo (a U.S. naval base since 1903). Of the many rivers, only the Cauto is important. The climate is semitropical and generally uniform, and like most other Caribbean nations Cuba is subject to hurricanes.
Cuba has three mountain regions: the wild and rugged Sierra Maestra in the east, rising to 6,560 ft (2,000 m) in the Pico Turquino; a lower range, the scenic Sierra de los Organos, in the west; and the Sierra de Trinidad, a picturesque mass of hills amid the plains and rolling country of central Cuba, a region of vast sugar plantations. The rest of the island is level or rolling.
The origins of the population include Spanish (over 35%), African (over 10%), and mixed Spanish-African (over 50%). Spanish is spoken and Roman Catholicism, the dominant religion, is tolerated by the Marxist government. Santeria, an African-derived faith, is also practiced, and there are a growing number of Protestant evangelical churches. The principal institutions of higher learning are the University of Havana (founded 1728), in Havana; Universidad de Oriente, in Santiago de Cuba; and Central Universidad de las Villas, in Santa Clara.

Cuba's terrain is mostly flat to rolling plains, with rugged hills and mountains in the southeast. The lowest point is the Caribbean Sea at 0 m (sea level) and the highest point is Pico Turquino at 2,005 m (6,578 ft), part of the Sierra Maestra mountain range, located in the south-west of the island. Other significant mountain ranges are Sierra Cristal in the south-east, Escambray Mountains in the center of the island, and Sierra del Rosario in the north-west. White sand beaches, as well as mangroves and marshes can be found in the coastal area. The largest is the Zapata Swamp, with over 4,520 km² (1,745 sq mi).

Die heutige Etappe der Reise führt durch Andalusien über das berühmte Granada bis in die Sierra Maestra.
Schon vor 6.000 Jahren wurden im Süden Andalusiens die ersten Olivenbäume gepflanzt. Fast jedes Dorf beginnt die Ernte mit einer Fiesta. In Jaén herrscht dann vier Tage lang Ausnahmezustand. Dort, wo die Olivenhaine aufhören, beginnt das Biosphärenreservat Sierras de Cazorla. In dieser Region wird der "Knochenbrecher" wieder gezüchtet und ausgewildert. Das Tier mit dem seltsamen Namen ist ein Geier. Er lässt die Knochen von verendeten Tieren hoch aus der Luft auf Felsen fallen. Aus den Splittern kann er sich dann leicht das Mark herausholen.
Die Reise führt weiter nach Granada. Hier steht ein Besuch beim Chefhistoriker Ramón Rubio und "seiner" Alhambra auf dem Programm. Seit 20 Jahren begleitet er die Restaurierungsarbeiten und entwickelt ständig neue Methoden zur Erforschung historischer Baumaterialien. Er kennt jeden Stein der Festung. In Granada ist auch der Gitarrenbau zu Hause. Handgefertigt in den kleinen Werkstätten, die oft nicht größer sind als eine Garage, warten die erlesenen Stücke auf Kunden. Bestenfalls kommen sie beim Flamenco zum Einsatz.
Hinter Granada erhebt sich die Sierra Maestra. In Trevélez leben fast alle Einwohner von der Produktion des berühmten Serrano-Schinkens. Tausende von Keulen werden hier verarbeitet. Sie bekommen übrigens immer einen Namen und einen Paten - das wäre woanders undenkbar. Zum Abschluss der Etappe gibt es noch einen Stierkampf - immer noch unmöglich, den Andalusiern dieses Spektakel zu verbieten.

Sierra Maestra is a mountain range that runs westward across the south of the old Oriente Province from what is now Guantánamo Province to Niquero [1] in southeast Cuba, rising abruptly from the coast. Some view it as a series of connecting ranges (Vela, Santa Catalina, Quemado Grande, Daña Mariana)[2], which joins with others extending to the west. [3] [4] [5][6][7] The Sierra Maestra is the highest system of Cuba. It is rich in minerals, especially copper, manganese, chromium, and iron. At 6,650 ft (1,999 m), Pico Turquino is the range's highest point.
Cuba rides on a separate tectonic plate, which originally was in the Pacific Ocean but (after crossing between the then separated Americas) crashed into Florida. This along with several other violent events (including volcanic activity, the crash of the comet Chicxulub, and earthquakes the Sierra Maestra is immediately north of the Bartlett Deep, or Cayman Trench on the main Caribbean Plate) fractured huge slabs of rocks. Enormous tsunamis presumably from the volcanoes on the Canary Islands carved great steps on the coast. All this caused emergence of these mountains in a complex process that included lifting up of now cave-ridden calcareous deposits, and the development of the Bartlett Deep or Cayman Trough. Originally heavily forested and divided by deep river valleys, volcanic dykes, and impassable karst areas, its steep valleys and abrupt fault lines make it an ideal terrain for rebellion.

February 25, 2009, our last full day in Cuba had arrived. I had spent the night in Santiago and my local Cuban friends Maria and Manolo were ready to continue to be my tour guides. I received a nice omelette for breakfast and Manolo explained that he had not had milk for years. Cuba experiences severe food shortages, and milk in particular is in short supply. Only children 8 or younger are entitled to receive real milk products on Cubas libreta, the rationing card. We were ready to head off to start our explorations and walked down to the port area where we caught a bicycle taxi. All three of us hopped on, and powered by pure renewable human power, we were wheeled past the Hatuey beer factory to the famous Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, one of Santiago de Cubas most famous landmarks. I had to pay 2 Cuban convertible pesos (about $3) to get in, 1 peso for me and 1 peso for my camera. The Cementerio de Santa Ifigenia is a real germ, it features stunning architecture and beautifully designed monumental white limestone tombstones. Cubas national hero, José Marti, is buried here, and the cemetery dates back to 1868. One of the most well-known residents of this cemetery is Compay Segundo, who gained international fame with the Buena Vista Social Club and his most famous composition: Chan Chan. We also watched a soldiers ceremony in front of a monumental tomb dedicated to revolutionary Jose Marti before we hopped into a local taxi, one of the ubiquitous 1980s Ladas, spartanic transportation at best, but it did the job. It took us about 20 minutes to get to our next destination: Santiagos famous Castillo del Morro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More properly known as San Pedro de la Roca, this extensive fortification was designed in 1637 by an Italian military engineer and was built over an earlier existing fortress. Construction started in 1638 and took until 1700, with many stops and starts. This extensive fortification was intended as protection against pirates and is located on a prominent promontory overlooking the entrance of the Bay of Santiago de Cuba. The view from the castle is outstanding and stretches along the southern coast of the island. The Sierra Maestra Mountains, location of so many of the key battles of the Cuban Revolution, lies to the west of the castle. During the last century, the fortress had deteriorated but was completely restored in the 1960s and finally designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, as the most well-preserved example of Spanish-American military architecture. Now it was time to head back into the city and we hopped into another local taxi, this time an antique open green jeep without seat belts or doors, I might add. This mode of transport definitely had a very adventurous feel to it. We headed back into the citys centre and Maria showed me some local souvenir places where I could buy authentic Cuban handcrafted items. Before my workers bus was due to arrive at about 1:30 for my ride back to the resort, we sat down in the Casa del Té on Santiagos main square and enjoyed a couple of sandwiches and a refreshing beverage. At 1:45 pm we boarded our workers bus and headed back to our resort for our last afternoon in Cuba. We spent it relaxing by the pool, watching a practice of our dance troupe and added a little game of table tennis before we capped off our Cuban adventure with a final dance performance by our talented dancers. My week in Cuba had been a resounding success: after all I had managed to turn a bland all-inclusive resort vacation into an adventure trip with lots of interaction with the locals. My Spanish had greatly improved, I had learned so much more about Cuba, and I was sure going to be miss the sun and the lively atmosphere of Cuba. But I was definitely looking forward to some decent food back in Toronto. -

It took us about 20 minutes to get to our next destination: Santiagos famous Castillo del Morro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More properly known as San Pedro de la Roca, this extensive fortification was designed in 1637 by an Italian military engineer and was built over an earlier existing fortress. Construction started in 1638 and took until 1700, with many stops and starts. This extensive fortification was intended as protection against pirates and is located on a prominent promontory overlooking the entrance of the Bay of Santiago de Cuba. The view from the castle is outstanding and stretches along the southern coast of the island. The Sierra Maestra Mountains, location of so many of the key battles of the Cuban Revolution, lies to the west of the castle. During the last century, the fortress had deteriorated but was completely restored in the 1960s and finally designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, as the most well-preserved example of Spanish-American military architecture. Now it was time to head back into the city and we hopped into another local taxi, this time an antique open green jeep without seat belts or doors, I might add. This mode of transport definitely had a very adventurous feel to it. We headed back into the citys centre and Maria showed me some local souvenir places where I could buy authentic Cuban handcrafted items. Before my workers bus was due to arrive at about 1:30 for my ride back to the resort, we sat down in the Casa del Té on Santiagos main square and enjoyed a couple of sandwiches and a refreshing beverage. At 1:45 pm we boarded our workers bus and headed back to our resort for our last afternoon in Cuba. We spent it relaxing by the pool, watching a practice of our dance troupe and added a little game of table tennis before we capped off our Cuban adventure with a final dance performance by our talented dancers. My week in Cuba had been a resounding success: after all I had managed to turn a bland all-inclusive resort vacation into an adventure trip with lots of interaction with the locals. My Spanish had greatly improved, I had learned so much more about Cuba, and I was sure going to be miss the sun and the lively atmosphere of Cuba. But I was definitely looking forward to some decent food back in Toronto.

Schon vor 6.000 Jahren wurden im Süden Andalusiens die ersten Olivenbäume gepflanzt. Fast jedes Dorf beginnt die Ernte mit einer Fiesta. In Jaén herrscht dann vier Tage lang Ausnahmezustand. Dort, wo die Olivenhaine aufhören, beginnt das Biosphärenreservat Sierras de Cazorla. In dieser Region wird der "Knochenbrecher" wieder gezüchtet und ausgewildert. Das Tier mit dem seltsamen Namen ist ein Geier. Er lässt die Knochen von verendeten Tieren hoch aus der Luft auf Felsen fallen. Aus den Splittern kann er sich dann leicht das Mark herausholen.

Cuba Travel - Santiago de Cuba: Cuban Handicrafts and Handmade Souvenirs
February 25, 2009, our last full day in Cuba had arrived. I had spent the night in Santiago and my local Cuban friends Maria and Manolo were ready to continue to be my tour guides. I received a nice omelette for breakfast and Manolo explained that he had not had milk for years. Cuba experiences severe food shortages, and milk in particular is in short supply. Only children 8 or younger are entitled to receive real milk products on Cubas libreta, the rationing card. We were ready to head off to start our explorations and walked down to the port area where we caught a bicycle taxi. All three of us hopped on, and powered by pure renewable human power, we were wheeled past the Hatuey beer factory to the famous Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, one of Santiago de Cubas most famous landmarks. ... -

Sur les traces d’Ernest Hemingway
Les Fantômes de la Sierra Maestra Publié chez les Éditions Libre expression Par l'auteur Paul Ohl 1949. Fidel Castro, un étudiant en droit, est dans la mire de la CIA et du FBI. Un danger pour les États-Unis, prétend-on. Meyer Lansky, un dirigeant de la mafia, règne sur l'empire du vice à La Havane. À des milliers de kilomètres de là, Ernesto Guevara, un jeune Argentin, étudiant en médecine, a épuisé une première vie dans sa lutte contre l'asthme. Il se jure que son autre vie servira à changer le monde. Cette même année, Jean-Paul Sartre, un philosophe français obsédé par le racisme, met les pieds à Cuba pour la première fois. On lui a raconté que les fantômes des combattants d'une autre époque hantent les hauteurs de la Sierra Maestra et que nul dictateur ne parviendra à les réduire a... -

This film is a general travelogue about Cuba before Fidel Castro’s Revolution.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
History of Cuba:
Cuba was launched as an independent republic in 1902 with Estrada Palma as its first president, although the Platt Amendment, reluctantly accepted by the Cubans, kept the island under U.S. protection and gave the United States the right to intervene in Cuban affairs. United States investment in Cuban enterprises increased, and plantations, refineries, railroads, and factories passed to American (and thus absentee) ownership. This economic dependence led to charges of "Yankee imperialism," strengthened when a revolt headed by José Miguel Gómez led to a new U.S. military occupation (1906–9). William Howard Taft and Charles Magoon acted as provisional governors. After supervising the elections, the U.S. forces withdrew, only to return in 1912 to assist putting down black protests against discrimination.
Sugar production increased, and in World War I the near-destruction of Europe's beet-sugar industry raised sugar prices to the point where Cuba enjoyed its "dance of the millions." The boom was followed by collapse, however, and wild fluctuations in prices brought repeated hardship. Politically, the country suffered fraudulent elections and increasingly corrupt administrations. Gerardo Machado as president (1925–33) instituted vigorous measures, forwarding mining, agriculture, and public works, then abandoned his great projects in favor of suppressing opponents. Machado was overthrown in 1933, and from then until 1959 Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar, a former army sergeant, dominated the political scene, either directly as president or indirectly as army chief of staff. With Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration a new era in U.S. relations with Cuba began: Sumner Welles was sent as ambassador, the Platt Amendment was abandoned in 1934, the sugar quota was revised, and tariff rulings were changed to favor Cuba. Economic problems continued, however, complicated by the difficulties associated with U.S. ownership of many of the sugar mills and the continuing need for diversification.
In March, 1952, shortly before scheduled presidential elections, Batista seized power through a military coup. Cuban liberals soon reacted, but a revolt in 1953 by Fidel Castro was abortive. In 1956, however, Castro landed in eastern Cuba and took to the Sierra Maestra, where, aided by Ernesto "Che" Guevara, he reformed his ranks and waged a much-publicized guerrilla war. The United States withdrew military aid to Batista in 1958, and Batista finally fled on Jan. 1, 1959.
Land and People of Cuba:
Cuba is the largest and westernmost of the islands of the West Indies and lies strategically at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, only 90 mi (145 km) from Florida. The south coast is washed by the Caribbean Sea, the north coast by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and in the east the Windward Passage separates Cuba from Haiti. The shores are often marshy and are fringed by coral reefs and cays. There are many fine seaports – Havana (the chief import point), Cienfuegos, Matanzas, Cárdenas, Nuevitas, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo (a U.S. naval base since 1903). Of the many rivers, only the Cauto is important. The climate is semitropical and generally uniform, and like most other Caribbean nations Cuba is subject to hurricanes.
Cuba has three mountain regions: the wild and rugged Sierra Maestra in the east, rising to 6,560 ft (2,000 m) in the Pico Turquino; a lower range, the scenic Sierra de los Organos, in the west; and the Sierra de Trinidad, a picturesque mass of hills amid the plains and rolling country of central Cuba, a region of vast sugar plantations. The rest of the island is level or rolling.
The origins of the population include Spanish (over 35%), African (over 10%), and mixed Spanish-African (over 50%). Spanish is spoken and Roman Catholicism, the dominant religion, is tolerated by the Marxist government. Santeria, an African-derived faith, is also practiced, and there are a growing number of Protestant evangelical churches. The principal institutions of higher learning are the University of Havana (founded 1728), in Havana; Universidad de Oriente, in Santiago de Cuba; and Central Universidad de las Villas, in Santa Clara.

Cuba's terrain is mostly flat to rolling plains, with rugged hills and mountains in the southeast. The lowest point is the Caribbean Sea at 0 m (sea level) and the highest point is Pico Turquino at 2,005 m (6,578 ft), part of the Sierra Maestra mountain range, located in the south-west of the island. Other significant mountain ranges are Sierra Cristal in the south-east, Escambray Mountains in the center of the island, and Sierra del Rosario in the north-west. White sand beaches, as well as mangroves and marshes can be found in the coastal area. The largest is the Zapata Swamp, with over 4,520 km² (1,745 sq mi).

| Halten Sie Ihre einmaligen Erlebnisse im Urlaub für immer fest: http://goo.gl/mRq9Zv |
Die heutige Etappe der Reise führt durch Andalusien über das berühmte Granada bis in die Sierra Maestra.
Schon vor 6.000 Jahren wurden im Süden Andalusiens die ersten Olivenbäume gepflanzt. Fast jedes Dorf beginnt die Ernte mit einer Fiesta. In Jaén herrscht dann vier Tage lang Ausnahmezustand. Dort, wo die Olivenhaine aufhören, beginnt das Biosphärenreservat Sierras de Cazorla. In dieser Region wird der "Knochenbrecher" wieder gezüchtet und ausgewildert. Das Tier mit dem seltsamen Namen ist ein Geier. Er lässt die Knochen von verendeten Tieren hoch aus der Luft auf Felsen fallen. Aus den Splittern kann er sich dann leicht das Mark herausholen.
Die Reise führt weiter nach Granada. Hier steht ein Besuch beim Chefhistoriker Ramón Rubio und "seiner" Alhambra auf dem Programm. Seit 20 Jahren begleitet er die Restaurierungsarbeiten und entwickelt ständig neue Methoden zur Erforschung historischer Baumaterialien. Er kennt jeden Stein der Festung. In Granada ist auch der Gitarrenbau zu Hause. Handgefertigt in den kleinen Werkstätten, die oft nicht größer sind als eine Garage, warten die erlesenen Stücke auf Kunden. Bestenfalls kommen sie beim Flamenco zum Einsatz.
Hinter Granada erhebt sich die Sierra Maestra. In Trevélez leben fast alle Einwohner von der Produktion des berühmten Serrano-Schinkens. Tausende von Keulen werden hier verarbeitet. Sie bekommen übrigens immer einen Namen und einen Paten - das wäre woanders undenkbar. Zum Abschluss der Etappe gibt es noch einen Stierkampf - immer noch unmöglich, den Andalusiern dieses Spektakel zu verbieten.

February 25, 2009, our last full day in Cuba had arrived. I had spent the night in Santiago and my local Cuban friends Maria and Manolo were ready to continue to be my tour guides. I received a nice omelette for breakfast and Manolo explained that he had not had milk for years. Cuba experiences severe food shortages, and milk in particular is in short supply. Only children 8 or younger are entitled to receive real milk products on Cubas libreta, the rationing card.
We were ready to head off to start our explorations and walked down to the port area where we caught a bicycle taxi. All three of us hopped on, and powered by pure renewable human power, we were wheeled past the Hatuey beer factory to the famous Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, one of Santiago de Cubas most famous landmarks.
I had to pay 2 Cuban convertible pesos (about $3) to get in, 1 peso for me and 1 peso for my camera. The Cementerio de Santa Ifigenia is a real germ, it features stunning architecture and beautifully designed monumental white limestone tombstones. Cubas national hero, José Marti, is buried here, and the cemetery dates back to 1868. One of the most well-known residents of this cemetery is Compay Segundo, who gained international fame with the Buena Vista Social Club and his most famous composition: Chan Chan.
We also watched a soldiers ceremony in front of a monumental tomb dedicated to revolutionary Jose Marti before we hopped into a local taxi, one of the ubiquitous 1980s Ladas, spartanic transportation at best, but it did the job.
It took us about 20 minutes to get to our next destination: Santiagos famous Castillo del Morro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More properly known as San Pedro de la Roca, this extensive fortification was designed in 1637 by an Italian military engineer and was built over an earlier existing fortress. Construction started in 1638 and took until 1700, with many stops and starts. This extensive fortification was intended as protection against pirates and is located on a prominent promontory overlooking the entrance of the Bay of Santiago de Cuba.
The view from the castle is outstanding and stretches along the southern coast of the island. The Sierra Maestra Mountains, location of so many of the key battles of the Cuban Revolution, lies to the west of the castle. During the last century, the fortress had deteriorated but was completely restored in the 1960s and finally designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, as the most well-preserved example of Spanish-American military architecture.
Now it was time to head back into the city and we hopped into another local taxi, this time an antique open green jeep without seat belts or doors, I might add. This mode of transport definitely had a very adventurous feel to it. We headed back into the citys centre and Maria showed me some local souvenir places where I could buy authentic Cuban handcrafted items. Before my workers bus was due to arrive at about 1:30 for my ride back to the resort, we sat down in the Casa del Té on Santiagos main square and enjoyed a couple of sandwiches and a refreshing beverage.
At 1:45 pm we boarded our workers bus and headed back to our resort for our last afternoon in Cuba. We spent it relaxing by the pool, watching a practice of our dance troupe and added a little game of table tennis before we capped off our Cuban adventure with a final dance performance by our talented dancers.
My week in Cuba had been a resounding success: after all I had managed to turn a bland all-inclusive resort vacation into an adventure trip with lots of interaction with the locals. My Spanish had greatly improved, I had learned so much more about Cuba, and I was sure going to be miss the sun and the lively atmosphere of Cuba. But I was definitely looking forward to some decent food back in Toronto.

Before my workers bus was due to arrive at about 1:30 for my ride back to the resort, we sat down in the Casa del Té on Santiagos main square and enjoyed a couple of sandwiches and a refreshing beverage.
At 1:45 pm we boarded our workers bus and headed back to our resort for our last afternoon in Cuba. We spent it relaxing by the pool, watching a practice of our dance troupe and added a little game of table tennis before we capped off our Cuban adventure with a final dance performance by our talented dancers.
My week in Cuba had been a resounding success: after all I had managed to turn a bland all-inclusive resort vacation into an adventure trip with lots of interaction with the locals. My Spanish had greatly improved, I had learned so much more about Cuba, and I was sure going to be miss the sun and the lively atmosphere of Cuba. But I was definitely looking forward to some decent food back in Toronto.

February 25, 2009, our last full day in Cuba had arrived. I had spent the night in Santiago and my local Cuban friends Maria and Manolo were ready to continue to be my tour guides. I received a nice omelette for breakfast and Manolo explained that he had not had milk for years. Cuba experiences severe food shortages, and milk in particular is in short supply. Only children 8 or younger are entitled to receive real milk products on Cubas libreta, the rationing card.
We were ready to head off to start our explorations and walked down to the port area where we caught a bicycle taxi. All three of us hopped on, and powered by pure renewable human power, we were wheeled past the Hatuey beer factory to the famous Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, one of Santiago de Cubas most famous landmarks.
I had to pay 2 Cuban convertible pesos (about $3) to get in, 1 peso for me and 1 peso for my camera. The Cementerio de Santa Ifigenia is a real germ, it features stunning architecture and beautifully designed monumental white limestone tombstones. Cubas national hero, José Marti, is buried here, and the cemetery dates back to 1868. One of the most well-known residents of this cemetery is Compay Segundo, who gained international fame with the Buena Vista Social Club and his most famous composition: Chan Chan.
We also watched a soldiers ceremony in front of a monumental tomb dedicated to revolutionary Jose Marti before we hopped into a local taxi, one of the ubiquitous 1980s Ladas, spartanic transportation at best, but it did the job.
It took us about 20 minutes to get to our next destination: Santiagos famous Castillo del Morro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More properly known as San Pedro de la Roca, this extensive fortification was designed in 1637 by an Italian military engineer and was built over an earlier existing fortress. Construction started in 1638 and took until 1700, with many stops and starts. This extensive fortification was intended as protection against pirates and is located on a prominent promontory overlooking the entrance of the Bay of Santiago de Cuba.
The view from the castle is outstanding and stretches along the southern coast of the island. The Sierra Maestra Mountains, location of so many of the key battles of the Cuban Revolution, lies to the west of the castle. During the last century, the fortress had deteriorated but was completely restored in the 1960s and finally designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, as the most well-preserved example of Spanish-American military architecture.
Now it was time to head back into the city and we hopped into another local taxi, this time an antique open green jeep without seat belts or doors, I might add. This mode of transport definitely had a very adventurous feel to it. We headed back into the citys centre and Maria showed me some local souvenir places where I could buy authentic Cuban handcrafted items. Before my workers bus was due to arrive at about 1:30 for my ride back to the resort, we sat down in the Casa del Té on Santiagos main square and enjoyed a couple of sandwiches and a refreshing beverage.

Les Fantômes de la Sierra Maestra
Publié chez les Éditions Libre expression
Par l'auteur Paul Ohl
1949. Fidel Castro, un étudiant en droit, est dans la mire de la CIA et du FBI. Un danger pour les États-Unis, prétend-on. Meyer Lansky, un dirigeant de la mafia, règne sur l'empire du vice à La Havane.
À des milliers de kilomètres de là, Ernesto Guevara, un jeune Argentin, étudiant en médecine, a épuisé une première vie dans sa lutte contre l'asthme. Il se jure que son autre vie servira à changer le monde.
Cette même année, Jean-Paul Sartre, un philosophe français obsédé par le racisme, met les pieds à Cuba pour la première fois. On lui a raconté que les fantômes des combattants d'une autre époque hantent les hauteurs de la Sierra Maestra et que nul dictateur ne parviendra à les réduire au silence.
À la fin de juillet, Ernest Hemingway, le célèbre écrivain américain, fête ses cinquante ans à La Floridita, le bar le plus couru de La Havane. Entre deux daiquiris, il dit qu'il ne donnera pas sa vie pour Cuba, mais que c'est grâce à Cuba s'il est encore en vie.
C'est dans l'île de Cuba, un point minuscule sur la carte du monde, tenu par tous les aventuriers, trafiquants, mercenaires, mafiosi et autres démons pour être un paradis perdu sous les étoiles, que s'amorce le compte à rebours d'une révolution qui va marquer le XXe siècle.
Une œuvre immense, un récit fabuleux : le roman de toute une vie.

February 25, 2009, our last full day in Cuba had arrived. I had spent the night in Santiago and my local Cuban friends Maria and Manolo were ready to continue to be my tour guides. I received a nice omelette for breakfast and Manolo explained that he had not had milk for years. Cuba experiences severe food shortages, and milk in particular is in short supply. Only children 8 or younger are entitled to receive real milk products on Cubas libreta, the rationing card.
We were ready to head off to start our explorations and walked down to the port area where we caught a bicycle taxi. All three of us hopped on, and powered by pure renewable human power, we were wheeled past the Hatuey beer factory to the famous Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, one of Santiago de Cubas most famous landmarks.
I had to pay 2 Cuban convertible pesos (about $3) to get in, 1 peso for me and 1 peso for my camera. The Cementerio de Santa Ifigenia is a real germ, it features stunning architecture and beautifully designed monumental white limestone tombstones. Cubas national hero, José Marti, is buried here, and the cemetery dates back to 1868. One of the most well-known residents of this cemetery is Compay Segundo, who gained international fame with the Buena Vista Social Club and his most famous composition: Chan Chan.
We also watched a soldiers ceremony in front of a monumental tomb dedicated to revolutionary Jose Marti before we hopped into a local taxi, one of the ubiquitous 1980s Ladas, spartanic transportation at best, but it did the job.
It took us about 20 minutes to get to our next destination: Santiagos famous Castillo del Morro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More properly known as San Pedro de la Roca, this extensive fortification was designed in 1637 by an Italian military engineer and was built over an earlier existing fortress. Construction started in 1638 and took until 1700, with many stops and starts. This extensive fortification was intended as protection against pirates and is located on a prominent promontory overlooking the entrance of the Bay of Santiago de Cuba.
The view from the castle is outstanding and stretches along the southern coast of the island. The Sierra Maestra Mountains, location of so many of the key battles of the Cuban Revolution, lies to the west of the castle. During the last century, the fortress had deteriorated but was completely restored in the 1960s and finally designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, as the most well-preserved example of Spanish-American military architecture.
Now it was time to head back into the city and we hopped into another local taxi, this time an antique open green jeep without seat belts or doors, I might add. This mode of transport definitely had a very adventurous feel to it. We headed back into the citys centre and Maria showed me some local souvenir places where I could buy authentic Cuban handcrafted items. Before my workers bus was due to arrive at about 1:30 for my ride back to the resort, we sat down in the Casa del Té on Santiagos main square and enjoyed a couple of sandwiches and a refreshing beverage.
At 1:45 pm we boarded our workers bus and headed back to our resort for our last afternoon in Cuba. We spent it relaxing by the pool, watching a practice of our dance troupe and added a little game of table tennis before we capped off our Cuban adventure with a final dance performance by our talented dancers.
My week in Cuba had been a resounding success: after all I had managed to turn a bland all-inclusive resort vacation into an adventure trip with lots of interaction with the locals. My Spanish had greatly improved, I had learned so much more about Cuba, and I was sure going to be miss the sun and the lively atmosphere of Cuba. But I was definitely looking forward to some decent food back in Toronto.
