Born in Viñales, Gabriela de la Caridad Azcuy Labrador (18 March 1861 – 15 March 1914) was a Cuban nurse and poet who participated in the Cuban War of Independence.<br/><br/> On 10 February 1896, she joined the militia of Miguel Lores near Gramales as an army medic. The following year, General Lorente wrote that 'in the heat of battle at Las Cañas, between Guane and Mantua, Mrs. Azcuy got off of her horse to heal the wounded in such moments of peril that other doctors had already temporarily withdrawn'.<br/><br/> Azcuy was made a Captain and after the war entered politics as the Secretary of the Board of Education in Viñales.
Viñales, a valley hidden away in the Sierra de los Organos in Western Cuba ranks among the loveliest regions of the country.<br/><br/> The entire northern horizon is dotted with limestone outcrops known locally as mogotes. Geologists explain that during the Cretaceous period around 100 million years ago underground rivers eroded the high land near present-day Viñales, creating great caves which eventually collapsed leaving the spectacular outcrops visible today.<br/><br/> Viñales is really just a small village, with a population of around 5,000 and a single main street. The centre of the town is Iglesia Viñales, a fine colonial church dating from around 1880.
