The monument is reminiscent of the legend of El Pilú. The self-proclaimed missionary, when his speeches became offensive, was banned from the city by the Council in 1897. Before he boarded the boat, he cursed Baracoa with a curse that supposedly continues to this day. The most recent example of this was Hurricane Matthew, who hit the coast here on 4 October 2016 with wind speeds of 220 km / h and caused severe damage in the city.
Even today one says in a losing streak "I have the Pilú behind me".

Greetings! I recently stumbled across something really cool: chicken-road-spiel.de , a site entirely dedicated to the crazy Chicken Road. The mix of arcade action and crash mechanics is truly exciting! You control a hen through dangerous obstacles to the golden egg, and you can decide at any time whether you want to collect the winnings or keep playing. There are four difficulty levels that provide plenty of thrills, especially in hardcore mode. What's especially cool is that you can play the demo for free before using real money. It also runs easily on your mobile in the browser – no download necessary.
