Eddie,
I am still searching for pictures, and I am absolutely amazed at how little information there is about those Cuban awards :( Alexei |

Medalla "Calixto García"
The Medalla "Calixto García" seems to be a customs related medal in an article was described the awarding of this medal to the Director of a Docks and a Captain who contained and searched a boat with foreigners on board finding 50 boxes of Cuban cigars.
Other articles show this medal awarded for Civilian and Military valour. Also awarded posthumously. It was given to the Cuban soldier Yoendris Gutiérrez Hernandez for thwarting three hijackers trying to enforce a flight into the U.S. The minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, General of the Army Raul Castro Ruiz awarded the medal to his parents.

Distinción "Ñico López"
Distinción "Ñico López" (25 years of service in the oil and chemicals industry)
En el acto fueron estimulados con la distinción Ñico López varios trabajadores con 20 y 25 años de labor ininterrumpida. Apparently this Medal can be awarded after 20 years service too.

Cuban Hero City
Santiago de Cuba , heroic city
Founded on the 25th July 1515 by Advanced Don Diego Vela'zquez. Only city on the Island of Cuba that has the honorary title of Hero of the Republic of Cuba and the Order Antonio Maceo Grajales. It symbolizes the spirit of fight of the Cubans in that phrase that distinguishes it: Rebel yesterday, hospitable today, heroic always

Re: Time for research!
With the changing situation between the US and Cuba it won't be long before we are absolutely flooded with Cuban awards. They're going to be even more available and currently most of them can be picked up for single digits so how low will prices go?
I'm certainly glad I didn't pay silly prices for the ones in the collection. Hopefully this new phase will bring in more chances of research too and greater cooperation. More paperwork please!
