Después de una semana de ceremonias y de un cortejo fúnebre que recorrió casi toda la isla, las cenizas del ya mítico líder de la Revolución Cubana, Fidel Castro, realizaron hoy su camino final desde el Parque de la Revolución en la ciudad de Santiago de Cuba hasta el cementerio de Santa Ifigenia, donde finalmente serán enterradas.

Soldados vestidos con uniforme de gala de color blanco y un brazalete negro en los brazos en señal de luto condujeron el cortejo que lleva la urna de madera de cedro con las cenizas del líder cubano, mientras a sus costados miles de personas rompieron el silencio y cantaron de manera espontánea el himno nacional.

Los restos de Castro llegaron el sábado a Santiago de Cuba tras recorrer en etapas y durante los pasados cuatro días los casi 1.000 kilómetros que separan La Habana de la ciudad del oriente cubano. El recorrido fue similar al de la llamada "Caravana de la Libertad" que el propio Fidel encabezó en 1959. tras derrocar al dictador Fulgencio Batista.
