Cerro de Caisimu, in Las Tunas

At 124 meters above sea level, right on the road that connects the municipality of Las Tunas with that of Manatí, in the north of the province, El Cerro de Caisimú (The Caisimú Hill) rises, one of the main elevations of the local geography, characterized by its vast plains. 

Elmer Almaguer passed away in Las TunasThe tragedy continues rounding up the journalistic community of Las Tunas. On the afternoon of August 22, Elmer Almaguer, a retiree of 26 Newspaper, passed away here, who dedicated several decades of his life to the job of formatting since the times when journalistic texts were composed in lead letters before being printed and the publication had its venue in the workshop on Colón Street.
