Some young people from Guantanamo will perform the traditional Martí Route, which this time commemorates the 130th anniversary of José Martí’s death in combat. They will depart on April 11 from Cajobabo Beach, in the municipality of Imías, where the National Hero landed with Máximo Gómez in 1895.
After following the Mambi route through the Cuban Upper East, the UJC members will arrive at Aguacate on the 19th of the same month, where young people from the province of Santiago de Cuba will continue to Dos Ríos.
During the youth tour along the Guantanamo section of the Martí Route, the promotion of officers of the Revolutionary Armed Forces is planned at Rancho de Tavera, where José Martí was appointed major general by the General-in-Chief Máximo Gómez Báez.
During the march through the mountains, young people involved in the patriotic journey will receive their membership cards from the Young Communist League in the Yaraguana area.
The José Martí route will be accompanied by 130 young people, a number that will increase as the route progresses throughout the eastern territory. They will enjoy the cultural activities of the José Martí Brigade of Art Instructors.
During the journey, aspects of the life and work of the Apostle, a paradigm of Cuban patriotic traditions and nationalism, will be highlighted, and the participation of young people from the municipalities of Imías, San Antonio del Sur, Manuel Tames, Guantánamo, and Niceto Pérez will be encouraged.
