- 505 Trinidad, a journey through time
Going into its streets of Chinese pelonas while the charm of the colonial houses closed to the front and open inside dazzles, is an experience that can only be experienced in Trinidad, the City Museum of Cuba. All of it is a living museum where centennial traditions survive from generation to generation.
Declared by the City Craft City, it seems that their typical unraveled tablecloths will cover as a delicate veil their streets, because at each step it is common to see several women from the same family engaged in the work.
With an invaluable heritage legacy, Trinidad is one of those few places in the world where time has stopped for modernity to go unnoticed 505 years after its founding. A place where history is palpable because it coexists with it, it is the daily thing despite the commercialization of its image.
This is not a forgotten town, but a place where it is demonstrated how the opening to tourism can save the tangible and intangible heritage of a rich region born from the sweat of the slaves and the molasses of the cane.
Trinidad is not alone, because together with her eternal guardian, the Valley of the Mills remains inscribed on the list of World Heritage to the delight of all Cubans, who know we have a unique place where time travel becomes our Villa everyday of the Holy Trinity.
