There’s something truly magical about Plaza del Carmen in Camagüey... As I wandered through its cobbled streets, I felt transported back in time, surrounded by beautifully preserved colonial architecture and a nostalgic, romantic atmosphere.
But the true soul of the square? The sculptures of Martha Jiménez. These life-sized bronze figures, scattered throughout the plaza, breathe life into the space. You’ll find the comadres, two gossiping women frozen in time—sit beside them, whisper your wish, and legend has it, it will come true. Of course, I tried! It’s an enchanting mix of art and folklore, where reality and magic intertwine.
Plaza del Carmen isn’t just a place to visit—it’s a place to experience. Whether admiring the sculptures, enjoying a quiet moment on a bench, or soaking in the colonial charm, you can’t help but fall in love with its unique energy. :)
