Are you thinking about holidays to Cuba? Well, out of all the Caribbean Islands, Cuba is definitely one with more to offer than just a beach holiday . The locals are friendly, charming and welcome you with a smile. Their cultural heritage is colourful, as are the monuments of their often tumultuous, always fascinating history. A Cuban Holiday is without a doubt one to consider.
These are just some of the facts to consider and places and things you should not miss in your holidays to Cuba.
Pinares del Mayari: Due south of Guardalavaca, pleasant mountain chalet accommodation has been built up on the high plateau cattle pastures of Altiplanicie de Nipe, alt. 600 m (1,968 ft). Ecotourism is gradually being developed here, and it's a perfect destination for hikes through the pine forests as a change of pace from the beaches.
Copa Rum Night Club in Havana: Replacing the legendary Palacio de Ia Salsa, the old hotel's night club has been refurbished to capture the glittering atmosphere of the 1950s. Under the Old Nick name of the famous Copacabana, it has two floorshows, at 10 p.m. and midnight, with prices moderately expensive.
Caf Cantante night Club in Havana: There are no frills here, and the prices are more modest, but the performance of Havana's most celebrated son and salsa groups such as Los Van Van and Charanga Habanera make this club in the basement of the national theatre a favourite nightspot for young Cubans. You may have to compete with long queues of Habaneros to get in, but it is well worth it for the high-octane ambience. Whether there is a concert or disco, people are dancing non stop.
Parisien in Havana: The opulent cabaret is located in the hotel whose guests once ranged from Winston Churchill to Ava Gardner-and several less savoury but equally renowned American mafiosi such as Meyer Lansky. Before the Revolution, Frank Sinatra sang here. Today, you can enjoy a splashy floor- show, smaller in scale than the Tropicana (and priced more modestly), but just as lively, and then launch into your own salsa, rumba and mambo when the dance- floor is opened to disco music.
There is a lot more to see and do in Cuba other than this few interesting places. Hundreds of beautiful beach and city locations can not be put in just one article. Stay tune to this article directory as there will be more useful information about Cuba coming soon.
