The Tinajon Camagueyano, is a symbol of all the Camagueyanos around the entire world. This clay peace was brought by our Spanish ancestors to Camaguey, Cuba during the XVII century. It served as storage of rain water. This precious piece kept multiplying and multiplying more in the city, until the year 1900 were around 16 thousands of them in the city. That’s why this beautiful piece represents us and our city inside and out of our country. That is why you can see many houses here in Miami that has a tinajon in front of their houses, representing us as Camagueyanos. Each person that visits the city and stay there to live, it is said that “he was drinking water of a tinajon”.
