Urban exploration: the Alamar forts

A few hundred meters from Alamar buildings is the coast. An abandoned area to the mercy of the erosion of saltpeter, weather events and social indisciplines.

If we pay attention we can see some constructions that, no matter how much I have asked and investigated, nobody knows how to explain what they were and what function they had. For the design of the construction, it is military forts. Perhaps residues of the Cold War when the Cuban communists proclaimed the four winds that the US army would invade the country at any time.

Perhaps they were an installation of the "Malecon" of Alamar that the rise in sea level and carelessness has ended up destroying. The reality is that today they are collapsed and constantly in danger of collapse.

In my exploration today I found two of these forts. Although the second one could not explore it well, because it was "inhabited." Inside there were one or more people, perhaps resting, perhaps keeping fishing utensils, perhaps living or, why not, having intimacy. Whatever the case I decided to give a little respect and get away.

Cuba today is a ruined country where government laziness has caused more damage than 100 war bombings. In addition, these ruins are also a reminder that there is no eternal footprint. Everything succumbs to the passage of time and the strength of nature.
