If you've never spoken to Humberto Delgado Fernández, don't judge him by his dreadlocks. He is the main architect of the renovated Teatro Principal park and the pedestrianization project for Independencia Street, of which he was able to execute only Coppelia Park at the same form.

Unfortunately, he said, thesis projects almost never come to fruition. Let's hope this one does.

 

Over 70 hectares covered by vegetation of more than eight thousand specimens, of which 1,200 species are exotic in our country, the Camagüey's Botanical Park opens its doors from next Saturday, July 14th to the 2024 Summer Program.

Leonardo Pareta Cruz has the magic of being well preserved in memory. In an afternoon of this June, in the center of the living room of his house in San Fernando Street, he soon raised the endearing museum of memories where he polished the profession of his life, at times so disparate thanks to the troubles that he himself sought for that obsession of his towards the preservation of the patrimony. Museologist, museographer and curator of the natural history collection of the Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz Provincial Museum, this Camagüey native reveals unheard secrets.

The screening in a community of works from the historical archive of the Cuban Cinematheque, transported in the last truck of the Camagüey mobile cinema will be the opening action of the summer season of the Provincial Cinema Center (CPC) on June 30th.
