Cuba’s International Tourism Fair confirmed the strong flow of visitors and the hosts’ interest in other countries’ capital, including that of the northern neighbour.

The tourism industry has started off 2015 at a good pace and better news for Cuba.

New measures to improve consumers’ purchasing power in one of the tensest areas of commerce in Cuba: the purchase of fresh products in the agricultural markets.

To expand the actions to benefit consumers, the Cuban government announced early this week a group of measures to regulate the prices of agricultural products. This year’s resolutions 157 and 162 of the Finance and Prices Ministry (MFP) came into force starting May 3. They establish retail ceiling prices for more than 20 food products harvested by the country’s agriculture and livestock producers, among other regulations.

But it is precisely there, in an intricate place of Havana, where one of the most genuine and transcendental figures of Cuban art lived: Antonia Eiriz.
