Fernando's Footsteps

 

Sit back and relax as you enjoy “Fernando’s Footsteps”, a series of mini stories about Fernando Suarez Menéndez, a Spanish immigrant from Asturias who arrives in Tampa via Cuba in the late 1800s. Follow Fernando and his stories of adversity, courage, and triumph, published every Tuesday and Thursday. The series, written by Tampa native, Tony Carreño will also be posted on the Ybor City Museum Society Facebook page. Join us on Facebook Live every Thursday for a reading and conversation with the author.

Carreño has provided knowledgeable “guided tours” to Asturias for Tampa locals to further their knowledge and appreciation of this unique history.
