Fusterlandia!

Cuban artist Cuban artist José Fuster moved in to a house in Jaimanitas. He decorated his studio in colorful mosaic tiles. When he was finished, he asked his neighbors if he could decorate their houses and businesses. His art has turned Jaimanitas from an economically depressed area to, now, a place where tourists are regularly bussed.
