Car Purchase-sale at the Corner in Cuba

The 6th Congress of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC) would have been much more successful if, in its closing day, it had been announced immediately the car purchase-sale policy as well as the housing one, at least.  

I do not take away at all any political importance to the event, neither tone down the transcendental aspects discussed. I only remark the fact it has to do with two very hoped-for measures. They should have been checked earlier so that many illegalities would have been avoided.  

Their legal implementation urges despite the juridical difficulties it may run into. They should help dynamite other advertised changes, though caution proves to be prudent. Common sense will go its way putting it right  with time, as it has to be done with some other measures already implemented like the Supply and Demand Law applied to means of  transportation where the “who he offers rules”-policy reigns.

Gibara City, a Fortunate Nature

By Amauris Betancourt.

Gibara city is often related to being an attractive and beautiful port city. That is true. But its natural charms are rarely referred to.  The treasured biodiversity calls the eye (lens) of photographers, amateur and professionals, to whom it is not difficult to make time stop in an instant of the flora and fauna because of the inherent photogenic, rural and city milieu.

The Cupeycillo (a rural place) ecosystem hosts endemic bird species and houses too corridors to migrant birds that frequently make a staying in given seasons.

 Gibara Bay’s grace bewitches: I do not believe there is a person who, lens in between, opposes resistance to press the shutter; though there are many regretting not carrying a camera with to take the city in a shot ¿Any doubts?
