Mi objetivo de este año era la cima de la Loma de la Cruz, el punto más alto de Holguín coronado con una cruz blanca y unas vistas espectaculares. Solo la había subido siendo estudiante de medicina y quedé con un mal recuerdo, casi no lo logré, ya que cuenta con 458 escalones, altos de por sí. Pero mis metas son superar todo lo que me ha sido difícil y esta vez lo logré.
Cuando ascendía por la empinada escalinata, enfrentaba mi mayor desafío: la fatiga. El camino parecía no tener fin y mis piernas se cansaban. Debía descansar en los bancos intermedios, pero mi determinación era inquebrantable y seguí adelante, dando paso a paso.
Fue muy interesante ver que se ha convertido en el destino favorito de los holguineros para realizar ejercicios físicos, incluso a medida que subían realizaban otros tipos de ejercicios como abdominales y planchas, además algunos iban acompañados de sus perros que también estaban ejercitándose.
Finalmente llegué a la cima y a pesar del cansancio me sentía muy emocionada, sobre todo al poder disfrutar del mejor paisaje de la ciudad, además de un atardecer espectacular.

Estando debajo de la cruz, contemplando la impresionante vista panorámica de Holguín, sentí una abrumadora sensación de logro. La ciudad se extendía abajo como una colcha de retazos.

Con una sonrisa triunfante, descendí, sabiendo que podría superar cualquier obstáculo que la vida me presentara y con la seguridad de que fue la primera de muchas visitas a la misma. Ciertamente si vienen a Holguín es un lugar que no deben de dejar de visitar.

My goal this year was the top of Loma de la Cruz, the highest point in Holguín crowned with a white cross and spectacular views. I had only gone up as a medical student and I had a bad memory, I almost didn't make it, because it has 458 steps, high in themselves. But my goals are to surpass everything that has been difficult for me and this time I did it.
As I ascended the steep staircase, I faced my biggest challenge: fatigue. The road seemed to have no end and my legs were getting tired. I had to rest on the intermediate benches, but my determination was unbreakable and I moved on, step by step.
It was very interesting to see that it has become the favorite destination of the people of Holguín to do physical exercises, even as they went up they did other types of exercises such as sit-ups and push-ups, in addition some were accompanied by their dogs who were also exercising.
Finally I arrived at the top and despite the fatigue I felt very excited, especially to be able to enjoy the best landscape of the city, in addition to a spectacular sunset. Being under the cross, contemplating the impressive panoramic view of Holguín, I felt an overwhelming sense of achievement. The city stretched below like a patchwork quilt.
With a triumphant smile, I descended, knowing that I could overcome any obstacle that life presented to me and with the certainty that it was the first of many visits to the same. Certainly if you come to Holguín it is a place that you should not fail to visit.
