Travelogue Cuba through my eyes

let everything be shown, shown and then paid. Prices of taxis, accommodation, cigars, trips, etc. are at least double. But not surprisingly, the communist regime decimated the economy and livelihoods. Cubans have learned to survive as much as possible and to at least part of the money that tourists bring to the country. There are many Cubans, so the supply far exceeds the demand and the people of Cuba will literally deny you as a source of foreign exchange. They will pounce on you, as soon as you get off the plane, they will address you on the street, they will wait for you at the bus. But if you don't get poisoned by it, you will enjoy the Caribbean waves and beaches. He gets to know another culture and discovers that Cuba is a beautiful piece of land. That people are good and bad there, as everywhere else, and will keep their fingers crossed for them to overcome the marasmus they have been living in for some time.

If I wasn't ready for something, then this. I have been hearing about life in Cuba since childhood. In the 1960s, his father worked there for two years and took the whole family. I note that I was not in the world yet, so that you do not get the impression that this old talk is written by an old rasp. I knew terms like Varadero, Viňales, Bay of Pigs as a child. But this was a shock. Fifty years was enough for the communist regime to abandon not only houses but also human values. Everything seems to be cursed in time. Dilapidated houses, abandoned playgrounds, vacated blocks of flats. But then I started to look at the whole thing differently. People live here and those people are trying to survive. She tries to take care of her children. Within the limits that have been strictly given to them, they move many times on the border in order to get food, to earn money. There are no others. They are just in a different situation.

How many times I couldn't believe that people lived in those ruins. But he lives.

Wide and 8 km long waterfront. Cubans catch fish and there is a sign nearby: No fishing! Like by U.S :)

From there, Fidel addressed the crowds.

A fortress that protected Havana from invaders from the sea. From here you can see Havana in the palm of your hand. You can get to it a bit untraditionally – through a tunnel that leads under the bay.

Veradero is the most famous tourist area, where you can roll on the beach, sip Cuban coffee in a café, eat well and dance. It is safe and clean here. The beaches are full and the Caribbean sea is clear. Just watch out for the sun!

For me, the most beautiful I've seen in Cuba. Azure sea and white sand. This place is said to be popular with Canadians. No wonder. Against their dry weather, this is a paradise. If I were to be dreamily romantic, I could imagine a honeymoon here.

Not so long ago, we had similar posters at home. Fortunately, building a better tomorrow has moved in a slightly different direction. However – when I read the election billboards tak.

The colonial town will caress your soul gently. People come here to rejoice. Narrow cobbled streets, with live music playing on the steps every evening in the center.

In addition to Varadero and Trinidad, another most visited area. The local region is famous for growing tobacco and making cigars. The limestone bedrock gave rise to extensive cave systems, and rocky formations called mogots are characteristic of this part of Cuba. Here you can go horse riding or watch breathtaking sunsets. The cheerful Cuban will show you how to make a cigar and explain to you how it is with growing tobacco. Yeah, and a note – I didn't see a black Cuban rolling a cigar on her own thigh! Always just a Cuban and on a board.

An invasion of Cuban exiles took place in Pork Bay in 1961 to overthrow Fidel Castro's regime. The event was funded by the American regime. The Cuban army crushed the enemy within three days and still lives off this glory. However, we paid more attention to the beautiful beach Girón, which was almost deserted. And also grilled fish. This was prepared for us by a local stallholder. We expected to pay outrageous money, because fish is a bit of an extra matter in Cuba (chickens eat it everywhere), but for two portions and two beers we tipped 25 CUC!
