We ate at the balcony where Jay-Z and Beyoncee made the news a few years later. Havana (Old Capitolio Building) This Building May Have Seen Better Days, But It Hides One of Havana’s Gem: La Guarida Restaurant (Visited by Queen Sofia of Spain and Other Celebs). With a tad of imagination, one can appreciate the beauty of them. Impressive! What an energy!Īround the centre and old Havana, including Paseo Martí (part of Paseo de Prado), many glorious colonial buildings can still be seen. One evening we heard a trio performing at La Floridita, Daddy Yankee’s Gasolina accoustic style. They are really happy, go-with-the-flow people. Iconic Hotel Nacional Seen From Morro Fort Telescope in Havana Bay Antique 1950 Car! Buona Vista Social Club – A Night of Amazing Music and Dancing in Havana Che Guevarra Was Not Born Cuban, But Is He A Cuban Hero or A Murderer? A Cigar Roller In Havana in a Cigar ShopĮverywhere you go in Cuba, you will always see and hear people singing and dancing. From the perspective of famous figures, a non-Cuban Che Guevarra is as famous as the still living Cuban leader, Fidel Castro. Most foreigners are familiar with a few things that are very identical with Cuba: cigars, rum which is the based on mojito and one of the best places to have it is Hotel Nacional, antique cars, and the music scene, such as Buena Vista Social Club. On this trip, we went to Havana, Trinidad, and Cienfuegos. The Government’s influences can be easily seen on the street through the propaganda billboards. The whole of Cuba when we were there, is one gigantic museum for the sociologists for its social structure and people’s behaviors for the Architects for its colonial rundown buildings from its heyday for the motor enthusiasts for its antique cars (love my pink chevy taxi) and for economists due to its dual currency/dual economy based on the Convertibles (CUC) for tourists and its Cuban Pesos for the locals. My trip to Cuba with my bff is still one of the best trips ever! There was no archeological ruin to see or worthy museum worth visiting. I would have loved to come back to La Habana (Havana) one more time sitting still in its 1950s glory and explore the eastern side of Cuba all the way to Santiago. But hey, no one should stand in front of sustainable progress. I, for one, for my own selfish reasons, am not too thrilled. Americans are now also allowed to visit Cuba. With an eye to the future, the government has been relaxing some rules and implementing new rules that in the long run will develop the people and its economy. I would have loved to record my experiences and impressions of Cuba during our trip in November 2011, fresh and on the go.Ĭuba has been making space in the news in 2014-2015. What a shame that I did not start documenting my travels before Guatemala in late 2012.
