La Habana aka: Havana

Fue nuestro viaje de novios, espectacular cuba, La Habana lo tipico, Varadero, pues exhuberante, y Pinar del rio, la verdad.

Viaje recomendable para aquel que quiera ir, antes de que el dictador muera, pues supongo que cuando ocurra habra una revolucion intelectual y cultural , que no dejara nada de lo que alli hay.

Amazing city, loved it – very beautiful and proud and friendly and….101 things. Go! Drink mojitos and wander around the streets :D

I was born and raised in Havana. Although I’m certainly biased because of that, I must say that after visiting some of the greatest cities in the world Havana is still in my top unique and peculiar places. I know there is a lot of “myth” about Cuba, but this is what you will find, first hand: a culture influenced by its Spanish and African roots, and more recently, by the Soviet Union/socialism/communism, but most importantly, a truly optimistic, welcoming, energetic people (ironically, the product of almost 50 years of misery and virtually no hope for a better future.) Although most cubans live in terrible conditions, you will find the cuban government has placed special (actually, luxurious) care in tourism, so you will be treated like royalty (sometimes out of interest sometimes out of genuine sympathy) both by the government and the people. It is not a dangerous place at all, in case it sounds remote or sketchy . Cuban food is delicious, good music, dancing, paradisiac beaches, beautiful colonial architecture, rich history…and….a relatively cheap destination!

just becouse of HAVANNA NIGHTS!!!! (mm) >:*

I loved this place. The combination of beauty with ‘misery’ was confusing, but the good disposition and friendlyness of the Cuban people was inspiring. Excellent food, good night life, you cant go there and not try either Mojitos or Guarhavanas (rum with cane and orange juice). The fabrication of cigars is very interesting and the city in general is very pretty.

definitively worth going there and returning for sure!
