Are you thinking about a holiday to Cuba? Excellent, this is one island in the Caribbean where you will want to do more than just a beach holiday. The people are extremely friendly and welcoming. The heritage of Cuba is as rich as are the monuments and palaces throughout the country. A holiday to Cuba is something you should really consider in your agenda.
These are just some of the facts to consider and places and things you should not miss in your holidays to Cuba.
Horseback Riding: The beach resorts hire out horses by the hour, as does Havana's Parque Lenin. For longer treks, you might try the tourist ranches near Trinidad at Casa del Campesino or Los Molinos. Other good facilities in the interior are available in the Viales valley and Pinar del Rio.
Havana: The city, with a population of 2,180,000 the biggest in the Caribbean, mirrors all phases of the island's turbulent story. Nowhere in Latin America will you find more handsome buildings from the Spanish colonial era. Palaces, mansions and churches are being painstakingly conserved in the old quarter.
La Hahana Vieja (a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982), along with fortresses around the harbour. Garish evidence of the US presence in Cuban history is there in the grand old 50s Chevrolets and Cadillacs miraculously still rolling through the streets-and in the Vedado district's hotels that were head quarters for the Mafia's night clubs and casinos.
Calle Obispo: One of the most colourful streets in La Habana Vieja, it boasts at No. 117 the town's oldest remaining house (1648), a single-storey building repainted bright blue and white with fine tiled roof the same side, the Hotel Ambos Mundos at the corner of Mercaderes, has preserved Ernest Hemingway's room as a small museum, with his bed, one of his old Royal typewriters and other memorabilia, including a facsimile of his manuscript of For Whom the Bell Tolls. There is a splendid view of the old town from the hotel's rooftop bar. Across the street is the popular Caf Paris.
