Many rightly call it the world\u2019s capital. People from all parts of the world live in NYC, more than 170 languages are spoken, its diversity is such that it is said that no ethnic origin predominates over another, although the most important are the Puerto Rican, the Italian, the Antillean, the Dominican and the Chinese.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">A few days ago, when I was working in New York, I had just visited the studio of a Cuban visual artist. I hadn\u2019t walked even two blocks when, very close to Washington Square, a couple started walking ahead of me. I couldn\u2019t avoid overhearing them; one said to the other in perfect English: \u201cDo you know that a Cuban chamber music orchestra is playing today in Central Park? I\u2019m not missing it.\u201d And I thought to myself: this city has more than 8.5 million people, unimaginable cultural options, and I hear on the street that they\u2019re talking about Cuban music.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">I of course went to the concert, it was full, despite the heat that New Yorkers know how to put up with. Hundreds of persons enjoyed the music in the wonderful stage that is NY\u2019s Central Park. At the end they played an arrangement of the famous <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>El<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>Manisero<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"> (The Peanut Vendor). The two or three Cubans who were there could not avoid moving and dancing to the rhythm of the chamber orchestra. We were quickly recognized and several persons approached us. They asked us about Cuba, about the music\u2026they had listened to something extraordinary and they wanted to know more: how do the people live, the climate, the principal places to visit\u2026. Some of them knew several Cuban visual artists. They wanted to know if the changes that were occurring in Cuba were notable. We tried to satisfy their curiosity, but we told them: to get to know Cuba you have to visit it, you have to come into contact with its people, with its culture. Many asked for references, they wanted to travel to Cuba and wanted to do so \u201cbefore everything changes.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a> <span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The following day, President Donald Trump announced in Florida that the individual people-to-people trips to Cuba by U.S. citizens were being restricted. U.S. citizens do not have the right to freely travel to an island that is 90 miles from the southern tip of the country and that has an impressive cultural wealth. Even though it can still be done, it is more difficult than traveling to Saudi Arabia or to China. One thing is certain, the interest in going to Cuba is growing, as the figures show. In 2016, after the relaxing of the travel to Cuba ban by the Obama administration, 284,937 Americans traveled to Cuba, which represented a growth of 74 percent with respect to the previous year, and the tendency has continued in the first months of 2017. As I was going to the airport to return home, the taxi driver found out I was Cuban and said to me: \u201cI want to go to Cuba, and I\u2019m going because it\u2019s my right, even if the government makes it more difficult for me. I\u2019m going and I\u2019ll see the island that bewitched Hemingway.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traveling to Cuba New York is the United States\u2019 most populated city.
