Feb, 2026. - It is not just any place; it is a living being that breathes in every stone, on the streets, in the gaze that beholds it. In the heart of the 21st century, it rises majestic, generous, and endearing, guardian of secrets and stories that invite one to delve into its essence — the very essence that tastes of community and shared memory.
Its calendar marks 512 Februaries, and although ancient, it appears young, fresh, with a face that stirs the soul. Forever simple and joyful, it declares itself the supreme mother, abundant in children who venerate it, children who play under its sky, youths who defend its roots, and adults who proudly sustain the burning energy without fear of the fiercest storms.
On the day marked by the number two, in the second month of every year, it dresses with elegance and, at the same time, undresses before the eyes of those who discover it. Each anniversary, the protagonist of this page reaffirms its ability to transcend and gather hundreds, thousands of hearts that come to meet it.
Among magic, light, culture, and tradition, its seconds, minutes, and hours pass by. Those who honor it with pride revere it.
This Monday it awoke more radiant than ever. On this cold winter morning, the flame ignites that confirms its resistance and resolve to remain alive for centuries.
There is no mistake; the former town of Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe, today Camagüey, is that bride everyone desires, the one kept in photographs, posters, or simply deep in the souls.
To the city of the “tinajones” and the ancient churches, to the land of the great Ignacio Agramonte y Loynaz, on this its new birthday, congratulations! (Photo taken from the Internet)
