Eusebio Leal, the groom of Old Havana no longer walks its streets, but the heritage of the guardian in love with the capital remains intact, enduring in time.
The gaze of this sincere and passionate man, with his sharp words, honors Havana style and Cubanness. His erudite spirit marks a singular personality, loved and admired.
Eusebio Leal’s imprint is everlasting. His legacy runs through the arteries of Havana, where the soul of his candid voice, who brought beauty and life back to the city when it seemed impossible, is missed.
The exemplary legacy of the eternal historian of the city runs through Cuba and different latitudes, because this unyielding warrior is an exceptional legend, a heart of light, a living virtue.
The white sheets on the balconies and rooftops of Havana eternalize this July 31, the impetuous mortal whose name was not his but synonymous with the former Villa de San Cristobal.
Death, with its apparent might, cannot take away the man who gave an incomparable life to Havana, the dreamer who looked with eyes of kindness at buildings, streets, palaces, museums, worn out by time, giving them back sparkles with his lights and shadows.
Eusebio Leal Spengler, is and will be the intellectual of action and thought who had the will to prevail, demonstrating the temper of his character, his taste to do more, to forge for today and tomorrow.
After his last farewell, his fertile personality remains the feeling of a life, loved by his public, well inside, which recognizes the essence and purity of a man as great as the soul of a country.
