A Cuban bicyclist passes graffiti depicting the Cuban revolutionary team arriving in Cuba on the "Granma". On November 1956, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Camilo Cienfuegos, and Castro’s brother, Raul Castro, along with 80 other fighters, departed from the Mexican port of Tuxpan, Veracruz and headed to Cuba on the yacht “Granma.” The 60-foot cruiser, brought the Cuban revolutionaries who overthrew the regime of Fulgencio Batista. Earlier this week the Castro rule came to an end. What to expect? In his first hour as Cuba’s new head of state, Miguel Díaz-Canel sought to make one thing clear: Raúl Castro may no longer be president, but he is still the power to be reckoned with in this island nation – Havana, Cuba.
