Cuba
Lean back in your ’57 Cadillac and glide past crumbling Baroque mansions. Or stand opposite the image of Che Guevara, in the Plaza de la Revolucion, where Fidel Castro inspired a nation…and feel Cuba.
Walk streets that wind between beautifully dilapidated colonial mansions. Take the time to talk to the people who will inevitably approach you; each with their own, disarmingly charming way of asking for a dollar. Tour Havana’s famous cigar factory where local women roll cigars with the flick of a hand. Sit in one of Havana’s tree-lined parks in the evening as the locals gather to discuss the day, politics, baseball. Take impromptu salsa lessons in a public square. See world class ballet.
Do any of these things, and you’ll feel the magic of Cuba.
Ask Jane Chisholm – one of our Cuba experts – to create you a tailor-made itinerary to help you make the most of it. She’ll arrange for you to eat in private restaurants like La Guarida, serving the most enticing local food on the island. And afterwards you can seek out bars that pulse with the rhythms of Son and Mambo, clubs where the dancing is hot and the Bacardi mojitas are ice cold.
Jane can also recommend Cuba’s best beaches, and help you feel the warmth that is wonderful, dysfunctional, idiosyncratic, unmissable Cuba.
