"This has to be witchcraft": Cuban in Spain steps out of her building and can't believe what she sees

A Cuban resident in Málaga humorously showcased the less attractive side of her neighborhood: a dirt alley, dirty and dilapidated, which the locals use as a shortcut and which inevitably reminded her of some landscapes in Cuba.

Dalia Carmona Marrero made it clear from the beginning of the video shared on Facebook that she does not intend to show only the beautiful side of her life in Spain.

"Obviously, if I'm going to show them the beautiful, I will also show them the ugly," he warns before pointing out the makeshift path located behind his building.

The Cuban then walks through the place, which she describes as a "disgusting embankment," while turning her complaint into a scene filled with Creole humor.

"This has to be some kind of a drag, witchcraft, I don't know, but damn, I'm destined for this muck, for this filthy thing," she comments with laughter.

Although the space is not an official street, Dalia explains that the residents of the building regularly use it as a shortcut, so she believes they should find a solution together.

And for that, she turned to a very Cuban formula: making a "ponina."

"The community, we need to take action, let's create a poster so they can put that there, because in the end, it gets used and it's disgusting," she suggests.

The funniest moment comes when you make the inevitable comparison with the island.

"That's to keep my beautiful Cuba close at heart, so I don't forget anything, to feel at home," he jokes.

After leaving the alley, the scene concludes by showcasing the contrast: "Who says I just came out of that suburb? Who says? Tell me. Don't let yourselves be deceived."

The video connects with other testimonies from Cubans who portray a realistic image of emigration on social media, highlighting issues such as the struggles to find housing and employment, as well as the cost of living.

In June, for example, another Cuban resident in Spain issued a : "Don't come with the mindset that euros just fall from the trees."

Also, a Cuban family recently showed how much they spend each month in Spain: out of about 2,000 euros in income, around 1,600 were allocated for fixed expenses.

In Dalia's case, however, the criticism came wrapped in humor and in a comparison that any Cuban would understand: one can leave Cuba, but sometimes a "terraplén" appears, ready to awaken memories.
