Dr. Joaquín María Álvarez González is recognized as a symbol of the old Marianao, a prototype of the family doctor. It is one of the top figures of Marianao of the first half of the 20th century. A review of 18 bibliographies was carried out with the objective of describing the importance of Dr. Joaquín María Álvarez González in the history of Marianao. Dr. Álvarez was a compendium of generosity, detachment and wisdom that consecrated him as a figure of superior relieves in the public activities of Marianao. For his transcendental work as a doctor in the Marianao municipality, a bust was erected to perpetuate his figure in marble.
