Santiago from El Morro

The view from El Morro de Santiago is blue. The blue dominates everything, floods the landscape: the sea –with its different shades that change as one enters or leaves the bay– and the sky, mottled with white clouds. Sometimes it mingles with the green of the mountains and the trees; and others, with the sand color of El Morro. From Saint Peter of the Rock Fortress, Santiago de Cuba, its bay and Granma Key look like a great architectural model.
