La Habana is an enamoring capital that exists beneath a blockade – one that you can both see, and see through. Looking through this window, the island appears to be battered with others' fingerprints and fogged with illusive misconceptions. Yet, we still fall in love.

Some tap at this crystalized ventana, testing its strength, hoping to prove fragility. But no shards of glass will ruin this city. So instead of squinting our eyes and looking through a polarized lens, we go there. We live there. We learn there.

Tras el Cristal del Amor is a site dedicated to La Habana, a city that cannot be broken.
