On November 25, but in 1956, an important event took place in the history of Cuba, which marked a before and after in the struggle to achieve freedom for the nation.
After almost 18 months of intense preparation, at dawn on that day the Granma yacht sailed from Tuxpan, Mexico to our country with 82 men on board, led by Fidel, including Camilo Cienfuegos and Ernesto Guevara,
Under many difficulties, but full of wishes and dreams, the expedition members were heading to defend a people that deserved to be free.
In navigation they faced a number of setbacks, one of them was the reduced space of the boat, so the risk of sinking was quite high.
When they saw themselves on the high seas, they already had certainty of the revolutionary triumph, with that enthusiasm and conviction they sang the notes of the National Anthem and the July 26 March at the same time that the Commander-in-Chief directed slogans.
This event continues on December 2 of that year, the date on which the Granma yacht disembarked by Las Coloradas beach, where 82 men began the battle against Batista`s forces, a number that was reduced to 24 and who regrouped with the guerrillas.
It should be noted that on this same date, but in 2016, the painful physical disappearance of our Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz occurred, a fact that will remain marked in the hearts of all Cubans.
