Gibara, Holguin.- El Guirito, a fishermen village located between the eolian power generator site and the city of Gibara, was practically swept away overnight, while being hit by Ike hurricane last September seven. 
Inhabited by fishers its dwellers were evacuated during the hurricane’s informative phase. The settlement, to the entrance of Gibara's Bay, lacks a sea wall that could have protected the area to some extent. It was therefore quite easy for Ike hurricane to invade it with its strong winds and pave the way for the sea waters to wreak havoc on all buildings way in. 
School in the "El Güirito" village.
The settlement got reduced to debris and one or two isolated walls. Only a few houses outlived the impetuous hurricane.
Some dwellers are still evacuated because many people from this municipality, which almost evacuated 3 thousand 500 people out of its 73 thousand inhabitants, almost half of its current population, lost their places.
The old city of the White Village of the Crabs, as they also call Gibara, was not badly damaged. Only those areas closer to the sea, and mainly the sea wall, destroyed in several segments.
Gibara recovers, nevertheless, like all affected areas in the island, but slowly because damages are considerable and resources are scarce.
