His house was the meeting place for poets, painters, musicians in memorable encounters, which were real spiritual feasts of sensitivity and intelligence. This place was opened with a similar purpose, to access the polemic debate and the essential interest of promoting the visual arts; respecting the diversity of opinions and different forms to appreciate Art.

Immersing Carlos Enríquez world is an adventure to the delirium of a vanguard artist, who made his home the frame of his work. Either in his landscapes, or in his house, sensuality, certainty or the surprise of the unknown, announce the hand of a man gifted with an extraordinary sensitivity to seize reality and reproduce it. The wooden gate painted in blue, where it is said the artist hanged the skin of a ferret, is the entrance of the farm. The small house seems to be placed in the middle of the trees to receive their colour and freshness. It is reached through a path limited by bottles remaining of the parties with the friends, which a gardener was placing all through the years. The simple exterior walls follow a gate of colonial inspiration and joins to the roof of creole roof tiles.

The interior door has on the top a welcome cabala, resisting, even today the lineal explanation: blue vault where Uranus, Mart and Jupiter mock and secretly keep its message. The surprising reflects of the colorful window placed at the end of the dinning room kitchen, made according to the painter's caprice. Colours and combination of lights and shades multiply in the mural of tropical ambiance extended in the entire wall, and contrasting to an exotic stove A stair, made of wood as the whole house is, goes to the studio. It has the footprint of Carlos Enríquez magic world.

Huron Azul is located in Havana

Capital of Cuba and the country's administrative, political, cultural and scientific center, it is also the capital of two provinces: City of Havana and Havana. Though only around 280 square miles (727 square kilometers) in size-0.65 percent of the archipelago's total area.

The Old Havana and system of forts led UNESCO to declare it a part of world heritage in 1982. Founded on its present site in 1519, the settlement of San Cristobal de La Habana prospered mainly due to its bay, which was a natural port of call for ships sailing to and from the New World. Starting in 1634, because of its strategic location, San Cristobal de La Habana was considered the key to the New World-as attested to by royal letters patent-and the main defense of the West Indies.

The Cuban capital consists of an immense number of buildings in a wide range of architectural styles, built in the course of nearly five centuries. These styles range from the pre-baroque to the baroque, neo-Gothic, neoclassical, eclectic, art noveau and art-deco, to the modern.

Alejo Carpentier, one of Cuba's most famous authors, called it "the city of columns" and focused attention on its streets, which he considered a perennially rich show of life, humanity and contrasts that was bound to entertain any observer.

Over 14 kilometers of excellent beaches lie to the east of the Cuban capital. To the south, a green belt contributes to a healthful atmosphere.
