Cuba of The Revolution, of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, spread out in the warm Caribbean embrace, with its vast green-blue beaches, green – fertile plains and imposing mountains with tropical and exotic vegetation… This is a multi-level place full of contradictions – where at any moment the unexpected happens – while at the same time attempting to gradually come out of the stagnation that characterized it. It is built by warm, hospitable and joyful people, who live in the rhythm of their explosive music, dancing and drinking traditional rum. Cuba keeps indelibly the signs of colonial times and its dynamic history, witnessing the rare architectural value and beauty buildings, which even half-shuffled emerge from the glamour of its rich past. Puff a Havana cigar or drink the authentic mojito and have a unique, once in a life-time experience!!!
