More Vignettes of Vinales, Cuba

After our time at the tobacco farm, we met up with the non-painters in our group. Most of them had visited a tobacco farm that morning via horseback, while we painted the ‘bull boy’.

Back together, we meandered through the cozy town of Vinales, taking in the sights, as illustrated by the photos below. Charming cars, wagons and other make-shift vehicles. Old and new-style housing combined with primitive construction techniques. Tired populace and garbage-strewn streets following three days and nights of a long-awaited music festival. Well-tended and prominent references to the revolution: Che on a chimney top; Jose Marti in a stark white lane-side memorial; cardboard street signs on bars and painted slogans gracing the local ball stadium.
