Guanito in the Municipio of Pinar del Rio |
Guanito is located 18 Kilometers to the north of the City of Pinar del Rio. On the road to Luis Lazo, Guanito is before Isabel Maria. |
In this location, selected because of its lack of population, in 1944 was installed an artillery range. After WW II the government attention took a different direction and the war against the tuberculosis took a mayor role nationwide. Guanito isolated location came into play once more. In 1947 the building we see in these pictures was constructed as a local hospital against the terrible disease of the post war era. |

In the present Guanito in Pinar del Rio is similar to Mazorra in Havana. This is the hospital where people with psychological problems are taken in the Pinar del Rio region. These pictures of Guanito were taken in 2008. Beyond our control was the early morning fog, sorry, hope next time the pictures will be better defined. |
