Como cada julio la ciudad de Santiago de Cuba, situada en la zona sureste de la isla, se ti\u00f1e de m\u00fasica y color. Tambi\u00e9n recibe a muchos turistas que vienen de distintas partes del mundo.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Pero\u2026 \u00bfpor qu\u00e9?<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

La raz\u00f3n es muy sencilla, durante esta primera semana de julio tiene lugar el Festival del Fuego, conocido como el Festival del Caribe. Este festival es el m\u00e1s importante del Caribe, se celebra desde el a\u00f1o 1981, \u00a0y re\u00fane las costumbres t\u00edpicas caribe\u00f1as que son la fusi\u00f3n de los pueblos amerindios y africanos. Por eso durante una semana\u00a0 podemos ver a m\u00e1s de 200 artistas que vienen desde distintos pa\u00edses para la ocasi\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Santiago, abre por toda la ciudad diferentes recintos donde se realizan los diferentes espect\u00e1culos de pintura, ceremonias religiosas, rituales m\u00e1gicos, teatros, encuentros gastron\u00f3micos, etc. Adem\u00e1s, durante todo este tiempo en las calles no cesa la m\u00fasica, acompa\u00f1ada siempre por los t\u00edpicos tambores cubanos. Y por supuesto los bailes, la salsa, la rumba y el \u00a0chachach\u00e1 son los preferidos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Esta fiesta, que mezcla historia, tradici\u00f3n y cultura caribe\u00f1a, termina con una multitudinaria procesi\u00f3n que culmina con una gran hoguera donde se quema una estatua que simboliza al diablo, entidad suprema de lo malo en todas las culturas. Al quemarlo nos limpia y deja pasar lo nuevo. A la luz del fuego se ven las caras entusiasmadas de las personas que saben que a\u00f1o tras a\u00f1o regresar\u00e1n de nuevo al Festival del Fuego.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Festival of Fire<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Like every July, the city of Santiago de Cuba, located in the southeast of the island, is tinged with music and colour. It also receives many tourists who come from different parts of the world, but … why?<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

The reason is very simple, during this first week of July the Fire Festival takes place, known as the Caribbean Festival. This festival is the most important in the Caribbean, it has been celebrated since 1981, and it brings together the typical Caribbean customs that are the fusion of the Amerindian and African peoples. So for a week we can see more than 200 artists coming from different countries for the occasion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Santiago, opens throughout the city different venues where different painting shows, religious ceremonies, magical rituals, theatres, gastronomic gatherings, etc. are held. In addition, during all this time in the streets the music does not stop, always accompanied by the typical Cuban drums. And of course the dances, salsa, rumba and chachach\u00e1 are the favourites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

This festival, which mixes Caribbean history, tradition and culture, ends with a massive procession that culminates in a large bonfire where a statue that symbolizes the devil, the supreme entity of evil in all cultures, is burned. Burning it cleanses us and lets the new happen. In the light of the fire you can see the excited faces of people who know that year after year they will return to the Festival of Fire again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
