More than half a century celebrating the birth of new peoples

A new edition of the Fiesta de la Cultura Iberoamericana returns to the streets of Holguín during October 24 to 30 of this year. This international meeting, which was founded in 1993 on the occasion of the 5th centennial of the meeting of the two worlds, will be held once again.
