We finally arrived in Cuzco, “the heart of America”. Our first day in the city, we met Don Néstor, an old soul, mom, and our official guide.

Diarios de motocicleta (2004, Walter Salles 🇦🇷🇨🇱🇵🇪)

Walter Salles: The little boy in Cuzco, we found him in the streets, or he found us. He came to us and asked if we wanted to know a little bit more about the city and offered himself as a guide. So we said, “Yes, but can we bring the Super16 camera along?” And he said, “Bring whatever you want.” And there it was. That scene, everything is Take 1. Nothing was repeated. (src)

5 Interesting non ficction books

The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara

“Che Guevara is most commonly known as the Marxist revolutionary minister of Cuba, but before this, he was a mere medical student living in Buenos Aires, his home, who wanted little more than to see the world. With his friend, Alberto Granado, at the young age of 23, he set off on a motorcycle journey across South America with plans to see all the sites they had only ever read about in books.”

 Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors by Piers Paul Read

“Alive is the story of how an amateur rugby team from Uruguay survived in the Andes after their plane crashed in the mountains between Chile and Argentina on its way to Santiago Chile. This story is so unbelievable, it has to be true”

The Tango Singer by Tomás Eloy Martínez

“Argentina is the birthplace of tango. It was once the dance known in 1880s brothels and lower class back alleys. It was fast, sensual, and disreputable. The Tango Singer follows the life of Bruno Cadogan, who flew from New York to Buenos Aires in search of the legendary tango singer, Julio Martel.”

El Túnel by Ernesto Sábato

“The Tunnel is a highly acclaimed Argentinian novel about psychological and obsessive love. It was first published in 1948 and has since become an international bestseller. It tells the story of an artist, Juan Pablo Castel, who recalls the murder of a woman called María Iribarne from the cell of his prison.”

My Father’s Ghost is Climbing in the Rain by Patricio Pron

“As one of the best young Spanish-language novelists of the 21st century, Patricio Pron’s deeply emotional story of My Fathers’ Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain is one of the finest books about Argentina today.”

Ernesto "Che" Guevara, often simply known as Che, was a key figure in the Cuban Revolution and a symbol of revolutionary movements worldwide. Here’s a detailed profile of his life, ideology, and legacy:

### Early Life and Education

- **Full Name**: Ernesto Guevara de la Serna

- **Birth**: June 14, 1928, in Rosario, Argentina

- **Family Background**: Born into a middle-class family of Spanish, Basque, and Irish descent. His family held liberal, left-wing views, which influenced his political thinking.

- **Education**: Guevara studied medicine at the University of Buenos Aires. During his medical studies, he traveled extensively across South America, which exposed him to the widespread poverty, inequality, and social injustice in the region. These experiences were crucial in shaping his Marxist beliefs.

### Political Awakening and Early Activities

- **Motorcycle Diaries**: In 1952, Guevara embarked on a motorcycle journey across South America with his friend Alberto Granado. The journey, later immortalized in his book *The Motorcycle Diaries*, deepened his awareness of Latin America's socio-economic disparities and fueled his revolutionary spirit.

- **Guatemala**: After completing his medical degree in 1953, Guevara traveled to Guatemala, where he witnessed the progressive government of Jacobo Árbenz being overthrown in a CIA-backed coup. This event reinforced his belief in the necessity of armed struggle against imperialism and capitalism.

### Cuban Revolution

- **Meeting Fidel Castro**: In 1955, in Mexico City, Guevara met Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro and his brother Raúl Castro. Inspired by their plans to overthrow the U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, Guevara joined their July 26th Movement.

- **Granma Expedition**: In November 1956, Guevara, alongside the Castro brothers and other revolutionaries, sailed from Mexico to Cuba on the yacht *Granma*. Although the initial landing was disastrous, with many revolutionaries killed, Guevara survived and retreated to the Sierra Maestra mountains.

- **Guerrilla Warfare**: Over the next two years, Guevara emerged as one of the key leaders of the guerrilla forces fighting Batista's regime. He demonstrated exceptional leadership, strategic acumen, and a ruthless determination, which earned him the respect of his comrades and the Cuban people.

- **Battle of Santa Clara**: In December 1958, Guevara led the decisive attack on the city of Santa Clara, which effectively sealed the fate of Batista's regime. On January 1, 1959, Batista fled Cuba, and Castro's forces took control of the country.

### Post-Revolutionary Cuba

- **Government Roles**: After the revolution, Guevara took on several important roles in the new Cuban government. He was appointed as the head of the Department of Industrialization, later becoming the president of the National Bank of Cuba and the Minister of Industries.

- **Economic Policies**: Guevara played a key role in shaping Cuba's socialist economy, advocating for rapid industrialization, land reform, and the nationalization of major industries. However, his economic policies were controversial and met with mixed results, contributing to economic difficulties in Cuba.

- **Internationalism**: Guevara was a strong advocate for global revolutionary movements. He traveled extensively, representing Cuba at international forums and offering support to revolutionary groups in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. His most famous international mission was in Congo in 1965, where he unsuccessfully attempted to inspire a Marxist revolution.

### Bolivia and Final Years

- **Bolivian Campaign**: In 1966, Guevara left Cuba to lead a guerrilla movement in Bolivia, aiming to spark a continent-wide revolution. However, the campaign was poorly planned and lacked local support.

- **Capture and Execution**: On October 8, 1967, Guevara was captured by the Bolivian army, which had been trained and supported by the CIA. The next day, on October 9, he was executed by a Bolivian soldier in the village of La Higuera. His last words to his executioner were reportedly, "Shoot, coward! You are only going to kill a man."

### Legacy

- **Iconic Image**: Che Guevara’s image, particularly the famous photograph taken by Alberto Korda, has become one of the most recognizable symbols of revolution and resistance worldwide. His face adorns countless posters, T-shirts, and murals, often symbolizing rebellion, anti-imperialism, and socialist ideals.

- **Controversy**: Guevara remains a polarizing figure. Supporters view him as a martyr who fought against imperialism and capitalism, while critics condemn him as a violent revolutionary responsible for executions and human rights abuses.

- **Influence on Global Movements**: Guevara's writings, particularly *Guerrilla Warfare* and *The Motorcycle Diaries*, continue to inspire revolutionary movements around the world. His life and ideology have been the subject of numerous books, films, and academic studies.

### Personal Life

- **Family**: Guevara married twice. His first marriage was to Hilda Gadea, with whom he had a daughter, Hildita. His second marriage was to Aleida March, with whom he had four children: Aleida, Camilo, Celia, and Ernesto.

- **Personality**: Guevara was known for his austere, disciplined lifestyle. He was a voracious reader and deeply philosophical, often reflecting on issues of social justice, ethics, and human dignity.

### Writings

- **Notable Works**: Guevara authored several influential works, including:

- *Guerrilla Warfare* (1960): A manual on conducting armed revolution, drawing on his experiences in the Cuban Revolution.

- *Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War* (1963): A firsthand account of the guerrilla struggle against Batista’s forces.

- *The Motorcycle Diaries* (published posthumously): A travelogue that reveals his early thoughts on inequality and injustice in Latin America.

### Conclusion

Che Guevara remains one of the most iconic and controversial figures of the 20th century. Whether admired as a revolutionary hero or condemned as a radical militant, his life and legacy continue to resonate in political and cultural discourse around the world. His commitment to the idea of a united Latin America and his willingness to fight for his beliefs, even at the cost of his life, ensure that he will remain a subject of fascination and debate for generations to come.

Microsoft to build new data centre hub in Spain

US tech giant Microsoft has announced plans to invest €6.69 billion over the next decade to establish a significant new data center hub in the Aragon region of Spain. The investment involves constructing cloud computing data centers on a site near the city of Zaragoza, as confirmed by the regional government. This announcement follows Microsoft's recent disclosure of a €2.1 billion investment in data centers in the Madrid area last month. Microsoft's cloud infrastructure initiatives in Spain are projected to contribute over €10.7 billion to the national GDP and create nearly 77,000 new jobs by 2030. "Microsoft's data center infrastructure in Spain will be crucial for our European AI strategy," said Jean-Philippe Courtois, Microsoft's president of national transformation partnerships. "This new cloud region will foster economic growth for our customers and partners." The investment decisions highlight how Aragon, and its capital Zaragoza in particular, is emerging as a cloud computing hub within Europe. As Alberto Granados, Microsoft's Spain manager, noted: "We are committed to supporting Spain…by delivering a data centre infrastructure that provides the most innovative cloud and AI services." Zaragoza's strategic location halfway between Madrid and Barcelona makes it an ideal logistics hub, said Joan Ral Gene, CIO of steel firm CELSA Group who welcomed the investment. He said: "The new Microsoft Cloud Region allows us to deploy services within the same region and reinforces data security and sovereignty." Aragon's regional minister for digital transformation, Mayte Perez, added: "This investment endorses our digital strategy and underlines our vision as a leader in sustainability and technology."

Antonio Maestre: la OTAN integre de manera natural a fascistas y nazis como socios naturales... Si el nazi Otto Skorzeny pudo trabajar para el Mossad desde Madrid no hay vínculo o conexión que no pueda darse... del mismo modo que ocurrió con Amichai Chikli, ministro de Netanyahu a cargo de Asuntos de la Diáspora de Israel, acudiendo al acto de Vox y coincidiendo con neonazis que hace una década estaban reuniéndose en Líbano con Hezbollá... Los casos de oficiales nazis al servicio de la OTAN son muchos al más alto nivel... Alberto Núñez Feijóo salió del armario y comenzó la campaña para las elecciones europeas anunciando que Giorgia Meloni es una socia confiable... Giorgia Meloni es una fascista esencial. Una fascista pura... Su política actual no ha abandonado ni una sola de las banderas radicales y contra los derechos fundamentales de las minorías que le llevaron a ganar las elecciones en Italia, pero enseña un salvoconducto que ha servido a lo largo de la historia para integrar fascistas en las instituciones: es una defensora absoluta del atlantismo... Es una paradoja del destino que sea a través del otanismo y de Italia cuando se produce un nuevo movimiento de integración fascista en las instituciones europeas y occidentales... Las alianzas otanistas con fascistas y terroristas tienen muchos ejemplos a lo largo de la historia y siempre acaban vinculados con España e Italia... No sé qué tenemos que siempre acabamos acogiendo a lo más granado del autoritarismo mundial... El otanismo es solo una muestra integradora que utilizará al fascismo o el terrorismo de Estado para su conveniencia siguiendo la máxima de Benito Mussolini de que el único programa de la internacional reaccionaria es la acción. Para ese cometido siempre será necesario contar con tontos útiles como Feijóo abriendo la puerta al monstruo creyendo que podrá controlarlo
