The story

Feria del Libro Santiago de Cuba in Santiago de Cuba

As the traditional closing stop of Cuba's national book fair, held in March after the Havana opening, Santiago de Cuba's edition runs from Sala Dolores to the Salon de los Vitrales in the Plaza de la Revolucion Antonio Maceo, offering several hundred titles and thousands of copies to residents. It closes out themes from the broader touring fair rather than simply repeating Havana's programme.

Santiago de Cuba holds a specific role in Cuba's national book fair calendar: after the Feria Internacional del Libro opens in Havana each February, it tours the provinces, and Santiago traditionally hosts the closing stretch of the international edition in March.

01

The place changes

Santiago's distinguishing role within the national fair circuit is that it traditionally closes the international edition rather than being a mid-tour provincial stop, giving its programme a valedictory character

02

The mystery stays covered

Its two contrasting venues, the intimate Sala Dolores for the opening and the open civic space of the Plaza de la Revolucion Antonio Maceo for the closing, bookend the fair within a single city in a way Havana's single-fortress setting does not replicate
