Durango 1921. His father fled to Cuba from the war in Africa. Then Kontxi Mañarikua's father and family left. It has been in Cuba since the age of 4, and has some blurred memories of Euskal Herria, whether from Durango or Mundaka. There he has lived, as a family, even in times before and after the revolution, always dedicating himself to the upbringing of the family. He has two sons, Carlos Manuel, an engineer at Mariel, and Diony, a university professor. As he enthusiastically said, he has four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, “descendants of a Basque and an Asturian”. Kontxi Mañarikua is one of the Euskaldunes of a generation in Havana, less and less numerous.
