Santiago... Let's get ready to rumble!!!

Santiago de Cuba is getting ready for another kind of earthquake, a hell of a party that makes everything tremble by the beat of "la conga"... Yep, we are talking about Cuba's hottest carnival, in the Land of Fire...   Once again La Alameda avenue is the heart of this celebration. This street will host the magnificent parade of floats, groups and dances, which are significant expressions of the traditional popular culture.
