San Antonio de los Baños
The Ariguanabo River and the weeping-willow that stands by its waters have been a recurrent motif of inspiration for composers and poets. Hailing from this region, singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez proclaims in his songs the pride he feels for his rural origins, which add freshness and spontaneity to his music. There is located also the International School of Cinema, where young students from all over the globe are having colleges. Symbol of this town is ‘El Bobo’ (the fool), a cartoon by Eduardo Abela. It was a protest cartoon in the Batista years. | |
