The natives are reputed to be very educated and cultured. They call it “The Camag\u00fcey” the city of Avellaneda and Nicol\u00e1s Guill\u00e9n, Ignacio Agramonte and Fidelio Ponce de Le\u00f3n. Its founding charter disappeared forever in a fire or looting, but every February 2 they celebrated the birth in 1514 of the former village of Santa Mar\u00eda del Puerto del Pr\u00edncipe.<\/p>\n
The great event awakens desires for beauty and improvement everywhere. One of the leading projects is the Paseo de los Cines (Movie Theaters Promenade) , where El Encanto and Casablanca will reopen, which at a time werethe highest grossing theaters in the country, after Yara and Payret, architect Yosmel Diaz says.<\/p>\n
They also restored the video room Nuevo Mundo, first founded in Cuba that will host the “Tom\u00e1s Guti\u00e9rrez Alea” Thought Chair. Nearby there is a bar which recreates the atmosphere of the “Ritz”, named after the famous movie by Michael Curtiz. The Fotograma cultural center will be dedicated to the music in the film, while the sidewalks outside simulate a tape of 35 mm, and several billboards are reminiscent of cinema personalities.<\/p>\n
Part of the Camag\u00fcey historical area, the largest in the island, with 300 hectares, was declared a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site in 2008. Jos\u00e9 Rodr\u00edguez Barrera, director of the Office of the City Historian explains that to deserve this condition they must demonstrate exceptional values , without equal in the world. Among the arguments of the villa include an urban area as a cobweb, with crooked streets where the visitor easily loses his way , as well as a vast repertoire that combines various architectural styles and periods .
\nThat title becomes a boost for the repair work carried out some years ago, for this 500th anniversary. So it is already a fact the underground networks in several areas, and the gradual elimination of the so-called incompatible uses , for example, administrative offices occupying local heritage buildings .<\/p>\n
They also restore the entrances to the villa, the Casino Campestre , parks and services. Dining novelties come with the Casa del Chocolate, and a locomotive with a passenger car converted into a caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n
It is not simply that “The city of tinajones” is painted, the historian said, but much further: remove architectural barriers, improve the technical condition of the real estate and quality of life of people. “When the morphology of a place changes for good people\u2019s behavior also changes.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, they reopened to the public the “Ignacio Agramonte” provincial museum while at the Teatro Avellaneda civil works were completed. Regarding the Camag\u00fcey poet, known as the “Tula”, on March 21, in her bicentennial, her statue will be built as a tribute by sculptor Sergio Roque.<\/p>\n
In academic matters, they had the VI Provincial Congress of History, and these days takes place the VIII Symposium Challenge and Management in the Management of heritage cities, underway in the brand new Santa Cecilia Convention Center.<\/p>\n
The trade fair of the territory, ExpoCam 2014, gathered about 50 Cuban companies and three foreign branches. Other issues of strong economic interest lie in the construction of a factory for milk powder, and actions to promote the city as a tourist destination. “For the purposes of cultural tourism is a very important wealth to exploit,” Rodr\u00edguez Barreras says.<\/p>\n
The festivities include severe days of activities during Culture Week, until February 7 . A large provincial choir concert, the Symphony, student art schools, and other groups that perform twenty songs dedicated to the city, national and foreign composers are expected.<\/p>\n
They say that whoever drinks water from tinaj\u00f3n (big clay water recipient, typical of this area) always returns to Camaguey. On February 2 is also the day of the Candelaria Virgin, worshiped by sailors. Maybe that’s why the pirates returned to Puerto Principe. Henry Morgan, the Englishman, French Grammont were seduced perhaps, fatally in love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
