CUBA EN BICICLETA Cuba by Bicycle en Espanol Gabriel Pernau Paperback 2000

Description: En otono de 1998 Gabriel Pernau decidio cruzar Cuba de punta a punta con la misma bicicleta que le habia llevado dos anos antes por la Ruta de la Seda. Su objetivo era rehuir los destinos mas trillados y sumergirse en la vida cotidiana del interior de la isla. Desde Santiago de Cuba, por donde acababa de pasar el huracan Georges, hasta las playas de Maria la Gorda, que encontraria amenzadas por el Mitch, le aguardaban casi dos mil kilometros de descubrimientos y experiencias. La profusion de aromas y colores del tropico, el paisaje exuberante, los restos aun visibles del pasado colonial y, sobre todo, las charlas en las modestas viviendas donde lo alojaban o los comentarios espontaneos captados al vuelo, irian configurando a lo largo del camino una amplisima panoramica de una realidad que desborda con su riqueza tanto los cliches politicos como les esloganes turisticos. In the fall of 1998 Gabriel Pernau decided to cross Cuba from end to end with the same bicycle that had taken him two years earlier along the Silk Road. His goal was to avoid the most hackneyed destinations and immerse himself in the daily life of the interior of the island. From Santiago de Cuba, where Hurricane Georges had just passed, to the beaches of Maria la Gorda, which he would find threatened by Mitch, almost two thousand kilometers of discoveries and experiences awaited him. The profusion of aromas and colors of the tropics, the exuberant landscape, the still visible remains of the colonial past and, above all, the talks in the modest houses where they were staying or the spontaneous comments captured on the fly, would configure along the way a wide panorama of a reality that overflows with its wealth both political cliches and tourist slogans.
