Cristóbal Colón Cemetery

This guide to the Cristóbal Colón Cemetery in Havana follows Eduardo Chibás, a radio host and politician who spent years accusing officials of corruption on his popular weekly broadcast. On the fifth of August 1951 he promised live listeners proof of a specific case against Cuba's education minister, then found himself at the microphone with none in hand. You'll hear what he improvised instead, and why the moment he meant as his broadcast's last word went out over an advertisement instead. The guide follows his story to this cemetery, one of the largest in the world, and to the grave that draws fewer visitors than the famous La Milagrosa nearby.
