Amid the warm crystalline waters of the sparkling Caribbean, over 500 years of roller-coaster history have conspired to create one of Latin America’s most electric and culturally unique societies. The stomping ground for swashbuckling pirates, a heavily fortified slave port for the Spanish and a lucrative gambling capital for the North American Mafia, Habana has survived everything that has been thrown at it and still found time to innovate. At the forefront of modern Latino culture, Habana has spawned salsa and mambo, Havana Club rum and Cohiba cigars, mural painting and Che Guevara iconography… And the list goes on.</div><div class="copy--body" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="copy--body" style="text-align: justify;">But with its crumbling tenements and increasingly traffic-clogged streets, Habana is no conventional beauty. Despite boasting colonial edifices to rival Buenos Aires and a dramatic coastline to match California, the city lacks the jaw-dropping magnificence of Paris or the spectacular physical setting of Rio de Janeiro. Instead, a large part of Habana’s attraction lies in the visceral and the abstract. Walk the mildewed neighborhoods of Centro Habana or Vedado and you’ll soon pick up the scent – here a mysterious Santería ritual, there a couple of drummers pounding out a rumba beat. The ins and outs are often hard to define and the contradictions endlessly confusing – perhaps this is why Habana’s real essence is so difficult to pin down. Plenty of writers have had a try, though; Cuban intellectual Alejo Carpentier nicknamed Habana the ‘city of columns,’ Federico Lorca declared that he had spent the best days of his life there and Graham Greene concluded that Habana was a city where ‘anything was possible.’</div><div class="copy--body" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="copy--body" style="text-align: justify;">But thorn or flower, Habana’s mesmerizing powers will quickly lure you in. The opportunities to lose yourself in the melee are limitless – take a guided tour around Habana Vieja’s enchanting colonial monuments, experience the pizzazz of a late-night cabaret show, stroll along the Malecón (Av de Maceo) as the waves crash over the sidewalk, or admire the skillful reconstruction job on a sleek, streamlined 1956 Cadillac.</div><div class="copy--body" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="copy--body" style="text-align: justify;">Traditional sights aside, Habana’s greatest attraction is its earthy authenticity. This is no trussed-up tourist resort or cynically concocted amusement park. There are museums here, of course, along with beautifully preserved palaces, top-notch hotels and rather tasty restaurants. But walk a couple of blocks north of leafy Parque Central and you’ll suddenly find yourself on the set of a real-life Elia Kazan movie, a dusty 1950s time warp where workingclass mothers still go shopping with their hair in rollers and young kids play baseball in the street with sticks and rolled-up balls of plastic.</div><div class="copy--body" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="copy--body" style="text-align: justify;">While 50 years of Socialism have taken their toll on Habana’s fragile social and economic fabric, the indomitable spirit of its citizens is a constant source of inspiration. In a society that invented camel buses, stretch Ladas and steaks made from grapefruit skin, survival is second nature and personal sacrifice almost a rite of passage. But how ever much you fall in love with this flawed yet utterly seductive city, capturing it in a sentence will always be a conundrum. ‘Habana is very much like a rose,’ said Fico Fellove in the movie The Lost City, ‘it has petals and it has thorns…so it depends on how you grab it. But in the end it always grabs you.’</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">What else can one person wish for their perfect vacation? With this brief story about Cuba’s most beautiful beaches, feel free to get settled down in your favorite chair and begin planning which one of them will you visit first…</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cuba is most definitely one of the prettiest Caribbean pearls. Sun, beach, sea, cocktails, music, culture… Those are the words that make you think of this magical island. And as long as we are talking about beaches, here are some you must visit while staying there.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let us begin with Cayo Largo (cayo is Spanish for cay). There you can expect 26km of ideal white sand with ethereally turquoise seas and colorful sea reefs. This is the ideal beach for those who love very warm sea water and all day long lying in the warm Caribbean sun. A large part of this beach is available for local people too, which is really rare in this island, it is mostly oriented towards foreign tourists. If you want to enjoy sun and play beach volleyball with the locals, Cayo Largo is the place for you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Proceed with your Cuban beaches tour on one which is a little bit different than the last one, even tough they are on the same cay. And by that we don’t mean any less beautiful or exotic, but a lot more interactive and made for adventurous people. Playa Sirena is a paradise for diving, snorkeling, kayaking and sailing. Even though it’s pretty much tucked in from the wind and sea waves, it gives ideal conditions for water sports. Tourists who have visited this beach, share the experience of one of the most beautiful underwater scenes, exotic fishes and colorful corals.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While you are on Playa Sirena and if you have the courage, don’t miss out on the opportunity to go to Cayo Iguana island, which is one of the worlds largest animal preserves. Only 700 meters of trails gives you the opportunity to enjoy in wilderness and see iguanas, and for those less brave ones, we recommend swimming in isolated and very intimate caves.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Playa Ancon is available only for tourists, so if you want to blend in with the locals, it may not be the place for you. But, it has two great things on the plus side: six kilometers of white sand, and immediate access to historical town of Trinidad, which you should check out. It’s settled on a narrow peninsula which is a beautiful sandy beach from one side, and swamp area from the other. It is suitable for underwater fishing, diving and other water sports. The sea is more calm here than on the other side, large waves appear often, so you might as well be careful and follow the instructions shown on the place.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Playa Coco you will witness a unique spectacle. While you’re resting on your comfortable hammocks and sun beds, absorbing sunrays or enjoying in the shallow waters, or even playing beach volleyball, you can see some pretty unordinary local tenants of this area – pink flamingos and white ibis birds. Actually, this part of the island is occupied by more than 160 species of different exotic birds, so if you are in fact a birdwatcher, this will be your favorite beach.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some Cuban beaches are very important historical monuments too. Playa Cajobabo, set east of Guantanamo is the place where famous national heroes landed, Maximo Gomez and Jose Marti, so they could take part in Spanish colonies fights in 1895. Near Pig Bay there’s also Playa Giron where the rebels, USA mercenaries started the invasion on April 17^th 1961. whose mission was to overthrow Fidel Castro. You can be informed on this topics in a few museums close to this beaches.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you just want to relax, sunbathe and have a good time, the right beaches for you are located in Varadero. In this area, luxury hotels, restaurants and bars can be found, so you will be under the impression that you are in miniature Miami Beach, not on Cuba. Like on the most Cuban beaches, access is limited for the locals here as well, so the visitors are mostly Americans, Canadians and Europeans. Varadero begun it’s development in 1872. but the biggest boom was in the late 30s in the 20^th century, when Irene Du Pont, American businessman and a renewed member of the highest American social class built a fascinating villa right there in Varadero, with a private mini airport and marina and named it Xanadu. Many other American flooded Varadero by following his example, and so began the tourist blooming of the place. Some of the famous regular visitors are Al Capone, Carry Grant and Ava Gardner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>
