This is one of the more unusual pieces of street art in the centre of Havana's tourist district. The local tradition is to have your photograph taken grasping the statue's beard in one hand while standing on his foot???
There are several versions of who this man was, and how he got his nickname. A well loved street person, because of his gentlemanly manners, was memorialized after his death. People who met him greatly approve of this homage to a quaint presence in Old...More
