What will happen in Santiago de Cuba 365 days after July 25, 2014?

The answer to this question is something the Excelencias Group will be pouring a big chunk of its journalistic and professional potentials into as the company pays tribute to Cuba’s second-largest city as its 500th anniversary is just a full year away.

This effort will count on the support of governmental and political authorities from Santiago de Cuba, the Culture and Tourism ministries, the local Curatorship Office, Casa del Caribe and a number of public institutions that will join hands along this yearlong timespan for the sake of a transcendental development for the village founded by conquistador Diego Velazquez back in the 15th century.

The Excelencias Group has summoned boldface intellectuals, historians, experts, journalists and artists who will put their expertise and talents in the writing of articles to be posted on all of our websites, digital newsletters and social media on a daily basis.

The Caribbean News Digital newspaper (www.caribbeannewsdigital.com) will put out 365 articles in each of its different issues in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and German languages, as well as in its Cuba issue; Excelencias Gourmet (www.excelenciasgourmet.com) will come up with 365 recipes of local dishes, cocktails and beverages; Excelencias del Motor (www.excelenciasdelmotor.com) will map out travel charts for those eager to sally forth to and from Santiago de Cuba; Arte por Excelencias (www.arteporexcelencias.com) will delve into different artists from that major town; Excelencias Turísticas del Caribe y las Américas (www.revistasexcelencias.com) will bring up works related to that historic city in each and every issue, including the printing of a special multimedia kit.

The making of cultural and heritage trails that could eventually dig out the charms of the Santiago de Cuba region will be available at our travel agency, Excelencias Travel (www.excelenciastravel.com) that will definitely find a source of inspiration in the feature reports posted on Caribe Insider (www.caribeinsider.com). In the same breath, readers will find a bevy of special products and services at our online store, Mall Habana (www.mallhabana.com), also a member of the Excelencias Group’s family.

Contests, exhibits, cultural activities and a gastronomic seminar will be other media-oriented attractions and allures the Excelencias Group will be piecing together from now on to July 25, 2015.

All these initiatives will be supported by the Excelencias Group’s different representations overseas, such as Spain, Panama, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, among other nations.
