There where the city ends, Cuba starts again. Every once in a while, when I’ve had enough of its noises, its streets and its tiring routine, I get away and heal myself with a trip to the bush. “El Canon” of the Santa Cruz River, where these pictures were taken, is one of the places that welcome people who, like me, need a retreat. In this part of Cuba the sun rises early and more times, and each leave, straw hat, each machete blade is a new experience. These escapes from the electric life of the city into the isolation of the rural night, are an act of reconstruction.

Otro de esos tipos flacos a los que no les gusta estar al lado del camino. La fotografía, el periodismo, poemas sementales, el dopaje musical y la necesidad de amanecer cada cierto tiempo en la montaña, han terminado por reconfigurar al microbiólogo que me sobrevive. No tomo píldoras para soñar. Guajiro como soy, me tiro del gajo antes de que las ganas y el sol se pongan viejos. No sé, otro de esos flacos que van camino de no pertenecer a ningún ismo.
