Cuba to Host 31st International Festival of the Caribbean
HAVANA, Cuba, Jun 27 (acn)An initiative by the Cuban City Historian
Office, called Rutas y Andares (routes and promenades), which
promotes the patrimony of Havana, will be re-opened for the Cuban
family as of the summer, from July 5 to August 31.

This program of activities, which dates back to the year 2000,
will award the most active families with tickets for cultural
shows like the staging of the piece “Cats” in Cuba, the
performance of the Litz Alfonso Ballet Company, and a theatre
play by the children’s theatre group La Colmenita (the little
beehive).
According to Prensa Latina news agency, the winning families
will also have the opportunity to become members of the Centro
Hispanoamericano de Cultura with full access to its services,
and a meeting with City Historian Eusebio Leal Spengler.
Among the main Rutas for this year is craftsmanship in precious
metals, minerals, arms collections, or the Havana Factory, which
are dedicated to children and youths. Besides, there is the “A
buen entendedor” (A word to the wise) Ruta, which recreates
traditional and contemporary elements in the popular culture.
The organizers explained that Andares offers a tour through
farthest places from Old Havana and deals with the origins of
African culture, Cuban currency, as well as the origins of
curator’s arts in Havana.
The municipality of Cojimar, which inspired U.S. writer Ernest
Hemingway and his novel The Old Man and the Sea, will be
included in the Andares tour through the summer.
