Name that building!
Nobody got it. It's the "Templo Bautista" in Cienfuegos.

Looks like it's somewhere in Santa Clara to me.

No idea! Marta I don't believe it's in Santa Clara. I don't recognize it as any of the buildings on the "Parque Leoncio Vidal."

One of the buildings in this hospital, what's the name, I think it used to be La Covadonga?

Well... it also looks that one of the fachadas en la calle Isabel Rubio, la calle principal de Guane, el pueblo donde nacio mi mama y gran parte de mi familia.
Although, I think this fachada is very common in many pueblos...

It's not in Guane. Though I'm glad you mentioned Isabel Rubio. She was my great great grandmother.

Let's narrow it down. The building in the picture is/was in Cienfuegos.

Cienfuegos? Does it have anything to do with El Beny? Santa Isabel de las Lagas?

Shut up, Henry!Was Isabel Rubio really your great-great-grandmother? My God, mira que el mundo es chiquito! I have soooooo many good memories from Guane, from its main street names Isabel Rubio, that was just the continuation of the main street of the tiny town before you enter Guane. I remember going in the car with my parents, from Havana, to my paradise in Guane (mi abuela Paula house)... when we would enter Isabel Rubio I knew it was only minutes before we get to la casa de abuela... ahmmmm! que recuerdos tan lindos!!!
Man, cómo extraño esos lugares!

Cubanita, yes I have Mambise blood in my veins.
Check this link. Halfway down the page I explain who my grandfather was and who his grandmother was.
