Among the methods and techniques used by the authors prevailed the qualitative ones, among them: scientific observation and the unstructured interview, among others. The analysis of José Martí's vision on the prefecture San José of Guaicanamar and the camagüey’s patriot Loreto del Castillo y Varona, who attracted the appreciation of the most diverse eminent persons for their loyalty was of great utility; its humble house in San José of Guaicanamar propitiated what can be considered a political and cultural gathering in the fields of free Cuba by the light of these times.
