Monuments represent and keep collective history alive, reminding us of important moments that have occurred in a country or region. Through their design and meaning they tell us about events that marked eras and help us to connect with the past in order to know and learn from it.

English VersionGreetings to all, with this publication I join the weekly contest in the POB community, with the theme of Nature. There is a special sharming in nature because it gives us beauty in the simplest things, in what grows free and natural. Wild flowers for example, with their bright colours and their delicate but resistant form, are for me the best example of this.

I am sure that, of all the ways to start the day in harmony, one of the best is to be by the sea. At this hour the sun is still weak and reflects on the water creating bright flashes, like little sparks of light coming off the waves.

This could also be a philosophy to apply in life, sometimes we just need to take a distance to see our problems from another angle, but it is not about life that I want to write about, it is about the amazing view that one has from the top of the from the top of The Great Theatre of Havana, Alicia Alonso.

In Havana, Cuba, in the park in front of the former Presidential Palace (seat of the Cuban government in the last century and now the Museum of the Revolution) there is a sculpture that for me is one of the most moving and beautiful dedicated to the National Hero, José Martí Pérez. #

For some time now, every time I walk the streets I have been more and more surprised by the amount of graffiti and murals I find everywhere. In Old Havana is where it is most common to see this type of street art on walls, doors and facades of houses and buildings.
