Greetings hivers 馃枍
A few days ago I was walking through Old Havana with some friends and we stopped near La Bodeguita del Medio to see if there was anything interesting around. That was when we came across this man, sitting and fully focused, drawing with a ballpoint pen a typical scene of Old Havana, the cathedral and its square.
I do not usually stop for long to watch street artists, but this man completely absorbed me in his work. While talking with him, he told me that he now draws from memory. He has spent so many years creating these Havana scenes that he knows every line, every shape and every detail by heart.
Other people also stopped to watch the talented artist, but unfortunately, in his own words, the tourism that is currently arriving in Cuba does not spend much money, and selling his work has become very difficult. A reality that, sadly, is increasingly common.
I hope you enjoy the photos I am sharing with you today.
Greetings.

Hace unos d铆as caminaba por La Habana Vieja con unos amigos y nos detuvimos cerca de la Bodeguita del Medio para ver qu茅 hab铆a de interesante por all铆. Fue entonces cuando encontramos a este se帽or, sentado y concentrado, dibujando con un bol铆grafo una escena t铆pica de La Habana Vieja, la catedral y su plaza.
No suelo detenerme mucho a observar a los artistas callejeros, pero este hombre me dej贸 completamente absorto en su trabajo. Al conversar con 茅l me cont贸 que ya dibuja de memoria. Lleva tantos a帽os creando estas estampas habaneras que conoce cada l铆nea, cada forma y cada detalle sin necesidad de mirar.
Otras personas tambi茅n se deten铆an a observar al talentoso artista, pero lamentablemente, seg煤n sus propias palabras, el turismo que est谩 llegando hoy a Cuba no gasta mucho dinero y vender su obra se ha vuelto muy dif铆cil. Una realidad que, por desgracia, es cada vez m谩s com煤n.
Espero que les gusten las fotos que les comparto hoy.
Saludos.
