THE Caravan of Liberty carrying Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro’s ashes left Havana for their final resting place in Santiago yesterday morning.
El Comandante’s mortal remains will follow as closely as possible the 500-mile route he took to victory from the eastern city to the capital in 1959.
They will be interred at Santiago’s Santa Ifigenia cemetery in a ceremony on Sunday, marking the end of nine days of mourning.
