When in Santiago de Cuba, there is no particular reason to run around everywhere searching for the attractions.
Just park yourself in a street corner like these guys. Surely something will appear!

Let´s dance with Adriana Mendes
Adriana Mendes started to dance at the age of five in her home country Brazil . She came to Sweden some years ago with the strong determination to create a dance school.
Thanks to skills, patience and energy (like a small nuclear plant) she is now the owner of a very popular dans school in Gothenburg named Adrianas Danshus
A month ago she won the price Settler of the year, pioneer in the west 2011
The Governor of the region handed over the price at a special ceremony in the residence in central Gothenburg.

Chasing the pig!
Every time when christmas and new year is approaching in Cuba you hear pigs screaming everywhere.
It is forbidden to slaughter cattle, so pork is one of the few options that remains!
In the (“el período especial”) ninetys, after the sovjetunion collapse and following deep crisis in Cuba there was even a dictate issued from highest authority, that the Cubans should keep pigs in their homes as emergency food.
Even in small apartments you could see persons feeding and nursing a couple of gigantic hogs .
This pig (above) made fierce resistance and tried to escape several times when transported to the slaughterers block..
