Ñeñeca, the historian of Sancti Spíritus

Maria Antonieta Jiménez Margolles: This will leave many wondering.

But if you say “Ñeñeca” in Sancti Spiritus, everyone will know who you are talking about.

If a popularity contest were held in the city right now, Ñeñeca would be among the first places.

Nobody understands as she does the ins and outs of the town, the history of each house, each street, each building. Nobody makes of the history of the town an unexpected fable, with grace and truthfulness.

All the people of Sancti Spíritus know the woman who is passionate about the history and lover of Sancti Spíritus.

María Antonieta Jiménez Margolles, Ñeñeca for the world, one of the most faithful guardians of the city of Sancti Spíritus, and a fierce defender of the yayabero heritage.

She practically lives for the town, she wanders it every day and has seen it grow towards the four cardinal points.

She lavishes that knowledge and shares her wisdom in books, magazine articles and texts on buildings, eaves, houses, streets, squares, small squares.
