In remembrance of the date, party leaders, students of the Camilo Cienfuegos Military School and other governmental organizations paid homage to him at the lookout point near the fortress, today a museum and cultural heritage.

Yosiel Oliver Ortega, first provincial secretary of the UJC, stressed the commitment of young people to Cuban history and the importance of the date.

To culminate, a wreath was placed in front of the busts that pay homage to Guiteras and Aponte in El Morrillo.
