Alberto Granado Passes Away in Havana


Alberto Granado passed away at age 88 on Saturday in Havana. Granado was a great friend of Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara and travelled with him throughout South America as retold in the movie Motorcycle Diaries.

Granado’s relationship with Che from an early age was an example of simple and sincere friendship. A loyal friend of Cuba, Granado left his mark in Cuba in his work to develop schools and teachers in the fields of Medicine and Genetics.

Floral wreaths from the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, and from Cuban President Raul Castro, were placed beside his coffin displayed at the Funeral Home in Calzada and K.

Alberto Granado was creamated and as per his wishes his ashes will be scattered in Cuba, his country of birth, Argentina, and in Venezuela.
