Greetings, dear friends of Hive:

Cemeteries have always caught my attention. When I was a child, we used to go looking for epitaphs on graves that we found curious, or anything that sparked our childish imagination, such as fear, for example.
Today, as an adult, I still do it, although with one difference: now I go in search of those small works of art carved in stone, in the open air, which I enjoy contemplating so much and which I want to share with you today.

The place is the Colón Cemetery in Havana, a marvel because of the history it holds. There is not a day that I visit it without discovering something new.

Saludos, queridos amigos de Hive:
Los cementerios siempre han llamado mi atención. Cuando era niño, solíamos ir a buscar epitafios en las tumbas que nos resultaban curiosos, o cualquier cosa que despertara nuestra imaginación infantil, como el miedo, por ejemplo.
Hoy, ya de adulto, sigo haciéndolo, aunque con una diferencia: ahora voy en busca de esas pequeñas obras de arte esculpidas en piedra, a cielo abierto, que tanto disfruto contemplar y que hoy quiero compartir con ustedes.
El lugar es el Cementerio de Colón, en La Habana, una maravilla por la historia que encierra. No hay día que lo visite sin descubrir algo nuevo.

This place is immense; exploring it in a single day is practically impossible. That's why I'm exploring it in parts, and little by little I'll share with you what I discover.

To say goodbye, I want to leave you with an epitaph that I found truly beautiful:

"Death merges the infinite journey of two souls into a single vibration. Here you were an angel, there you will have glory. Yours forever, Hernesto."

Este lugar es inmenso, recorrerlo en un solo día es prácticamente imposible. Por eso lo exploro por partes, y poco a poco iré compartiendo con ustedes lo que voy descubriendo.
Para despedirme, quiero dejarles un epitafio que me pareció realmente hermoso:
"La muerte funde en una sola vibración el infinito curso de dos almas. Aquí fuiste un ángel, allí tendrás la gloria. Tuyo siempre, Hernesto."
