Hemingway Cup

This comes from Escambray, a digital newspaper from Cuba:

In a press conference offered Tuesday by Commodore of the Cuban International Nautical Club Jose Miguel Díaz at the Hemingway Marina, he noted that the traditional event is dedicated to the American writer and stressed that Hemingway has become a symbol of fraternal relations between the American and Cuban people.

Diaz stressed that the fishing tournament seeks to promote friendship and develop bonds among fishing lovers.

He added that this year the event marks the 50 anniversary of the only encounter between Fidel Castro and Hemingway that took place in 1960, during the 11th tournament. On the occasion, a plaque in honor to the two personalities will be unveiled at the Marina.
