A week in Cuba

Cuba is the emblem of the struggle between cultural identity and personal freedom. Can individual choice be submitted to restrictions to preserve national identity and local culture? Should multiculturalism be restricted to a defilé of tourists to allow money to pour down the veins of a country dependent on its own stereotype?

Streets of... Valle de Leyva, Colombia

Villa de Leyva is one of the finest colonial villages of Colombia, located in a high altitude valley at 2,144 m altitude in the Boyacá Department.

It was declared a National Monument in December 17, 1954 to preserve its architecture, but the valley itself is worth such honor.
