Juan Jose Valdes, project manager of the National Geographic Society’s first major rendering of Cuba since 1906, says that “To a Cuban, there’s nothing more iconic than a map of the island.”
Two new provinces have been added to the 3×2 foot wall map, which took six months to create. Valdes was moved from Cuba as a boy several months after the Bay of Pigs invasion.
