En el Ojo del Ciclón Los ciclones son caos, tormenta, fuerza y destrucción. Sin embargo, dentro de ese caos existe un pequeño espacio de calma absoluta, de tranquilidad y silencio donde se puede ver el cielo e incluso sentir el sol. Es el orden dentro de un muro de aparente desorden. Precisamente ese es el nombre de uno de los proyectos de arte c

English Version Although the municipality of Centro Habana has been founded relatively recently, the same cannot be said of its neighborhoods, streets, and buildings, many of which date back to the early years of the colonial era when the city began to expand beyond its sheltered walls. That is why, when walking through Centro Habana, we can admi

English Version The old Tacón Theatre was in the middle of the 19th century one of the most famous and renowned stages in the Cuban capital, and even in Latin America. Elegant and imposing, this theatre was not only an architectural jewel of its time but also a cultural phenomenon where some of the best artists of Cuba and Europe performed. Locat

English Version In Old Havana, right on the corner of Mercaderes and Obra Pía streets, stands one of the most distinguished buildings of colonial Cuba, the Obra Pía House. Currently restored and converted into a museum by the Office of the Historian of the City, it was once the headquarters of one of the most outstanding charities in Havana. The

English Version Since ancient times man has had a fascinating curiosity about the cosmos. Looking at the sky and the stars has always been a way of searching for answers to questions that cannot always be found on Earth. That is why so much time and study has been devoted to solving the riddles of the Universe, many of which remain unsolved to th

English Version The interesting thing about exploring is the desire to discover new things, to be surprised and to connect with what surrounds us, and that curiosity accompanies us in any environment we travel through.

English Version On one of the four corners of the Plaza Vieja in Havana's historic centre stands the tallest building in the square, the Gómez Vila building. This early 20th century building stands out not only for its height, but also for being the most modern of those surrounding the square. It also has a peculiar viewpoint at its highest point

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Cuba, the venues where Universal Art is exhibited, and the Cuban Art Museum, where the best works of the most renowned national artists are shown. Places like this are thought and designed to contemplate the best of the arts, in a spacious, elegant and serene environment, with art

English Version Walking the streets of Centro Habana and Habana Vieja, Cuba, is never boring. Just observing the diversity of people, in terms of age, race and culture, is entertaining enough. I think these are the municipalities where most people pass through the streets at any time of the day. Bicitaxis, street vendors offering everything you c

English Version I am sure that, of all the ways to start the day in harmony, one of the best is to be by the sea. At this hour the sun is still weak and reflects on the water creating bright flashes, like little sparks of light coming off the waves. This area is the entrance to Havana Bay, and my intention on arriving here was to enjoy the scener

From the heights, the view of what surrounds us changes completely. From above, the city we are passing through looks completely different, the perspective changes and what once seemed huge to us now looks small and at eye level. Buildings, trees and cars look like small pieces in a moving model. This could also be a philosophy to apply in life,

English Version In Havana, Cuba, in the park in front of the former Presidential Palace (seat of the Cuban government in the last century and now the Museum of the Revolution) there is a sculpture that for me is one of the most moving and beautiful dedicated to the National Hero, José Martí Pérez. This equestrian work of the Cuban hero recre
