Cuba, its miles of white sandy beaches, its turquoise water, its blue, pink, yellow or green streets, lined with old cars : is there any more beautiful holiday landscape ?
Set sail for Havana, an essential destination for holidaymakers looking for authenticity and a change of scenery. Located in the northwest of the island, the city enjoys a tropical climate, resulting in temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees all year round. Its colonial architecture and its houses in a thousand colors will guarantee you a total change of scenery ! Classified as World Heritage by Unesco, its district of the old city is to discover absolutely. Taking the time to wander through the streets of "La Habana Veija", is like strolling through time, frozen in places thanks to the superb 1950s American cars, passionately maintained by their owners. In this merry mix of baroque and neoclassical dwellings, walk, cycle or "coco-taxi". You will discover the four colonial squares of the city, connected to each other by pretty little paved streets. The Habana Veija also houses many museums : the Museum of Rum, the Museum of Colonial Art, but also the Model Museum of Havana, where young and old can watch the city of Havana in a miniature version.
The music is in Havana what the air is to life : indispensable ! From traditional Cuban jazz to Reggaeton and salsa, Havana lives to the furious rhythm of incessant melodies. Jazz lovers will not miss a tour of the Jazz Café, located on the Malecon, in the Vedado district, facing the bay of Havana. Enjoy the conviviality of Cuban evenings scented with rum and cigars to dance, sing, and taste the flavors of local cuisine : in Cuba, rice and black beans will be at the heart of your plates. Thus, you can taste "Picadillo", lobsters, "Arroz con Pollo", stuffed pineapple, "Papas Rellenas" or delicious plantain bananas. Do not leave Havana without visiting a cigar factory, like the Real Fabrica de Tabacis Partagas, one of the oldest in Cuba.
More in the center of the island, 4 hours drive from Havana, discover the beautiful Trinidad. Considered one of the most beautiful cities in Cuba, you will fall under the spell of its colorful colonial dwellings and its authentic charm. Take the nicely paved streets and visit the Museo Nacional de Lucha contra Bandido for a bit of calm and freshness. From the heights of this former convent of the eighteenth century, you will have a breathtaking view of Trinidad !
Finally, Cuba would not be Cuba without its miles of beaches ! Rich with many cultural treasures, the island also offers dreamy panoramas for leisure travelers who are in the Caribbean sun. Deserted beaches, sumptuous coves or popular seaside resorts bordering the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico, you will be spoiled for choice.
To the east of the Cuban capital, hides a paradise beach in the shade of coconut trees : the beach Santa Maria del Mar. Here, the sea is crystalline, and the atmosphere caliente ! Largest seaside resort in the Caribbean, Varadero is a real postcard decor. Its turquoise water and parasols give it the air of paradise ! Finally, do not miss Cayo Coco, a small tropical island with breathtaking beauty, from which you can see colonies of flamingos, introduce you to water sports or immerse yourself in the discovery of the Cuban seabed.
