Cuban Uruguayans
Cuban Uruguayans are people born in Cuba who live in Uruguay, or Uruguayan-born people of Cuban descent.
Overview
There are some Cuban-born persons living in Uruguay, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; their historical origins are common (part of the Spanish Empire). Uruguay is a very small, quiet country, where Cuban exiles have looked for a new opportunity as part of a big inflow of Latin Americans coming to Uruguay.[1]
The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 456 people declaring Cuba as their country of birth.[2] As of 2013, there are just 6 Cubans registered in the Uruguayan social security.[3] There is a remarkable presence of Cuban ophthalmologists working for the Uruguayan national health system.[4]
Cubans residing in Uruguay run their own association since 1989.[5]
