MEXICO CITY, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Cuban President Fidel Castro has always considered Mexico his second home, Reforma reported Tuesday.
"For Fidel, Mexico is the same as it was for Jose Marti: a second homeland," Castro's biographer Katiuska Blanco told the newspaper. "Both found close friends here."
Blanco also said Castro's legacy will live on long after his death.
"It is very difficult for someone to have the stature of Fidel, where one doesn't want to say that the Cuban Revolution will not follow its course," Blanco said. "The young and the not-so-young Cuban revolutionaries have considered the reincarnation of Fidel."
Castro, 78, has ruled Cuba since 1959.
Blanco will present her new book "All the Time at the Cedars: A Familiar Landscape of Fidel Castro Ruz" Sunday at the Book Fair in Guadalajara.
