Entramos al barrio "EL PARAÍSO" en Holguín 🇨🇺 ¿La zona más compleja? (Con @LeosTravel)

Can you imagine living in a place called "Paradise" where the reality is the complete opposite? In today's video, we venture on foot with Leo's Travel into one of the most remote, vibrant, and striking areas of Holguín, Cuba. We begin our journey in the midst of a massive blackout lasting over 36 hours, plunging our entire neighborhood into darkness and forcing us to resort to extreme measures like smoking meat to prevent spoilage. Along the way, we cross polluted rivers that once sustained the city, buy traditional Prú Oriental to cool off from the sweltering heat, and end up exploring the stark contrasts of this neighborhood: where crumbling houses stand alongside mansions with solar panels, a direct reflection of the impact of migration. Join us to discover what's really behind the "Welcome to Paradise" sign and what daily life is like in the heart of Cuba! 🔥 🕵️‍♂️ What NO ONE tells you about Holguín: Paradise or oblivion?
