With the opening of a press center on Sunday, Bayamo and its main plaza are ready to host Cuba’s most important annual celebration on Wednesday, said Lazaro Exposito Canto, first secretary of the Communist Party for the province of Granma.

The July 26 National Rebellion Day commemoration marks the 53rd anniversary of the historic attacks on the Moncada and Cespedes Garrisons in Santiago de Cuba and Bayamo that sparked the Cuban Revolution.

Exposito noted that the plaza was remodeled for the event and said the press center had been provided with all the necessary facilities to help the work of both national and foreign journalists.

Present for the press center opening were Rolando Alfonso Borges, head of the Ideological Dept. of the Communist Party Central Committee, and Jesus Antoinio Infante, president of the Granma provincial assembly.

Numerous projects were completed in Bayamo in preparation for hosting the July 26 celebrations. They included the opening of the Valle del Cauto Hotel, a new urban organic agriculture farm, and a produce market.
