AB  - The fog computing term has achieved importance in the last years due to its effect in the latency reduction 
that the Internet of  Things [IoT] applications have. These applications demand real-time (or nearly real-time) responses 
and they are characterized by low bandwidth consumption; hence, the fog computing is relevant in achieving these requests 
because part of  the processing is done near the end user devices. For this reason, the cloud computing paradigm is not enou
-
gh for some applications, since nowadays, the instant need of  data and the decision-making process leverage –or somehow 
discover– a new horizon that demands a complementary variable. This article consists on an approach to the fog computing 
term, together with the requirements analysis for engineering solutions in the IoT field. Also, its impact in the smart cities 
and other fields plus its main challenges are addressed. We also present a guideline to implement a recommendation system 
for sightseeing places for tourists based in fog computing embraced in a large smart city project located in Havana.
