The two cyclist started their tour last August 13 in Santiago de Cuba city, and visited the cities of Bayamo, Manzanillo, Pilón, La Plata, Chivirico, la Mula, returned to Santiago and departed once more this time to Guantánamo, Baracoa, Moa and Holguín

Berenjena and Varela are from the Catalonia region of Lleida, and took with them the message to the inhabitants of these Cuban cities that in Spain many people are in favor of the release of the Cuban Five, as René González, Ramón Labañino, Fernando González, Antonio Guerrero and Gerardo Hernández are known internationally.

Jordi Varela said this had been a little contribution to the just cause of the Five.

Varela, a fire-fighter back in Spain, said they had chosen this Cuban region for their feat because it is an area very related to Cuban independence struggles, as he learnt from books.

Bejerano said it had been a dream come true, when they rode through the same region Cuban Revolution leader Fidel Castro and his men had fought against the Batista dictatorship. “It was like living those moments again”

The Cuban Five were incarcerated after an unfair trial in the United States where they were monitoring terrorist anti Cuba groups.
