There is a legend that has become deeply rooted among the inhabitants of Yara, a region of the province of Granma, Cuba, and not in the Yara of Baracoa as was supposed for a long time, since the chief Hatuey was not executed in Baracoa but in Granma.  It is said that at night you can see a twilight light that can vary in size and that comes out in the path of travellers.  It is considered innocuous and as a symbol of the refusal of this brave aboriginal to leave the region in which he was executed.  The legend states that at the moment of the execution, the light that has been the cause of comments for centuries sprouted from Hatuey's mouth.  Another version supposes that Yara, an Indian in love with Hatuey, who could also have been his wife, hugged him at the very moment the pyre was burning and from her burning body the light that roams throughout the region sprouted.  There is no scientific basis for this fact.  What is certain is that it has lasted for more than five hundred years in popular culture and is considered the oldest legend on the island of Cuba.
