Carlos Enríquez Galope died in Havana.

He was part of a group of  Cuban painters who around the year 1925 broke with all the academic style to create a new one. In 1939, after having obtained a small inheritance from his father´s side, he  became the owner of a land in Párraga municipality in Havana, where he built a wooden house which he surrounded by trips. At present, there is the Museo Huròn  Azul exhibition center.

Párraga

It is a Popular Council that belongs to Arroyo Naranjo municipality in Havana province. It can be said that it was conformed by several farms, which started to be populated in the 20th decade of the 20th Century from all the land divisions that were made. This comprises La Esperanza, Porvenir, Los Mameyes, Montejo y Párraga towns. This last has the largest area. For this reason the population has adopted other names to be more specific in delimiting small areas like  Los Mangos, El Paradero, El Sucu Sucu, y la Curva.
