From Castro’s hideout to beaches, ballet dancers, national parks and colourful architecture, Cuba has it all.
The rhythms of the Caribbean, 1950s and 60s American culture and the grandiose style of the Spanish colonialists all clash, yet somehow conspire together to present you with an island that bursts with life, colour and energy. In Havana you’ll see the remnants of American excess in the classic cars that cruise past faded colonial mansions – contrasting neatly with austere monuments of Fidel Castro’s revolution.
In the Sierra Maestra you’ll discover the thatched shacks of Castro’s old hideout, whilst Camaguey invites you to get lost in its maze-like streets and cobbled plazas. Trinidad’s pastel-hued houses give you the essence of the Caribbean’s style, while the beaches of Baracoa tempt you with white sand and warm seas.
