EL BATEY DE LA INDUSTRIA AZUCARERA EN VILLA CLARA
Abstract
La industria azucarera fue el principal factor
de colonización de Cuba desde mediados del
siglo XVIII. A partir de esta actividad se
fueron conformando en lo social, lo
económico y en el paisaje físico de las regiones donde se
desarrolló, una identidad propia que responde a la
producción del dulce. El territorio que ocupa la actual
provincia de Villa Clara no es la excepción de este
proceso. El batey azucarero derivado de las fábricas del
dulce, constituye una expresión importante de esta
identidad, por lo que caracterizar las estructuras urbanas
que se fomentaron y crecieron adjuntas a centrales que
estuvieron en explotación hasta el proceso de
reestructuración acometido en el sector a partir del 2002
o que aún siguen activos, constituye el objetivo principal
de este trabajo.

The sugar industry was the main factor of colonization of
Cuba since the half of the XVIII century. Starting with this
activity an own identity was conformed in the social, the
economic and the physical aspects of the regions where it
was developed, an own identity that responds to the
production of the candy. The territory that occupies the
current province of Villa Clara is not the exception of this
process. The sugar batey derived of the factories of the
candy, constitutes an important expression of this identity,
because of that to characterize the urban structures that
were fomented and grew enclosed to the sugar factories
that were in exploitation until the restructuring process
attacked in the sector starting from the 2002 or that
installations that still continue active, constitutes the main
objective of this work.
Key words: The sugar batey, sugar factories, cultural identity
