Güines of Yesteryear
This section includes old paintings, pictures and articles received from different sources, showing Güines the way it was during its happy era, before 1959. Little by little, we will keep updating it. We believe, like the Evangelist, that we have to “Gather up the fragments left over so that nothing will be wasted” [St. John, 6;12]. Please, send us your comments and contributions. Thank you.
