Cuba
DISCOVER CUBA
Cuba is the largest of all the Caribbean islands and one of the most fascinating, anchored just south of Florida in the Antilles group of islands. The country’s tropical location means you can expect warm temperatures throughout the year. It has a unique and eventful history, reflected in the effusions of its rich culture of music, dance, and socio-political innovation.
Cuba is one of the most distinctive countries in the world. Thick cigars, Ernest Hemingway's footprints, rum, “salsa” music, crumbling buildings as testimony to a glorious past, murals with revolutionary slogans that evoke the 60s, old American classic cars that hang from their suspension in the streets next to the bustle, joy, and hospitality of its inhabitants, are just some of the icons of this emblematic place.
Cuba is an island that regularly advances and then recedes. When you travel to Cuba, you will be amazed by vintage radios, refrigerators and lamps, and neon signs hanging from shop windows. There are vintage pharmacies and traditional barbers, and iconic classic American cars everywhere. However, the pace of modernization of the island is increasing exponentially. New stylish hotels are emerging, and first-class, family-run boutique hotels are flourishing. And private restaurants, (Paladares), are slowly putting Cuban cuisine on the culinary map.
But the uniqueness of Cuba is unshakable. On your trips to Cuba, you can meet Cuban artists in their own front-room galleries and learn to dance salsa in home studios. You can take a city tour in a 1956 Chevrolet and learn to kite surf, rock climb, play the conga, roll cigars, and ride horses. And the island's stunning beaches, pristine seas, and forested mountains are there for your enjoyment.
