Day 3,541, 14:46 • Published in Cuba Switzerland • by AG.Ortiz

Did you ever hear this song?

.....
Tu mano gloriosa y fuerte,
sobre la Historia dispara,
cuando todo Santa Clara,
se despierta para verte.
.....
~ Hasta Siempre, Comandante


When i heard this part of the lyrics, i thought:

who is Santa Clara?
A holy guy?
Live in era of revolution?

oh,
I cant imagine some clerics in Cuba took apart of the revolution,
with guns and shoting some heads...

Until i know it,
That it's just a City..

What kind of city that it's so famous in every Cuban's ears?

Santa Clara is the capital city of the Cuban province of Villa Clara.
It is located in the most central region of the province and almost in the most central region of the country.
With a population near a quarter million,
Santa Clara is the 5th largest Cuban city by population.
The Che Guevara Mausoleum.

Is a memorial in Santa Clara, Cuba.
It houses the remains of the revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara and twenty-nine of his fellow combatants killed in 1967 during Guevara's attempt to spur an armed uprising in Bolivia. The full area which contains a bronze 22-foot statue of Guevara is referred to as the Ernesto Guevara Sculptural Complex.

Ernesto was buried with full military honors on 17 October 1997 after his exhumed remains were discovered in Bolivia and returned to Cuba.
At the site, there is a museum dedicated to Guevara's life and an eternal flame lit by Fidel Castro in his memory.

Well,
Santa clara is an awesome city.
liveable, and revels in its history.

The end of war of revolution,
The end of the body and soul of Ernesto,
was here.

The begining of Cuban glory,
The begining of Ernesto's memory,
start from here.
