The former Victoria de Las Tunas was assaulted and captured on September 23, 1876.

  • At dawn on September 23, 1876, troops under the command of Major General Vicente García carried out the assault and capture of Victoria de Las Tunas. Information on the entire military structure of the fortress, the number of troops, the quantity and type of weapons, the disposition of the posts, and other details that allowed Vicente García to occupy the town without firing a shot was provided by a Mambi agent infiltrated into the Spanish forces.

Solid waste management is a major concern for Las Tunas inhabitants.

We asked our audience about the thorny issue of social indiscipline. The results are interesting, to say the least. Looking at their reactions and comments, it is clear that loud music was among the most criticized behaviors, the kind we are forced to listen to every day from motorcycles or bicycle taxis. It doesn't matter if it's the latest hit or a 20th-century ballad; it also comes from neighbors or recreation centers, whether we like it or not.

The white of Dayan's twelfth-grade uniform shirt now blends in with the lab coats of the students at the University of Medical Sciences (UCM in Spanish) in Las Tunas. September found him working on a project that already ranks among the most notable of his 17 years. The University College has made him open up more to a dream that, he says, grew with him.
