Cuban Holiday-Rewinding To The 50s
Written by Jeny Pitter
Holidays to Cuba can be one of the most fascinating experiences one can have. When a tourist goes to Cuba on a holiday, he finds it amazing to feel that he has gone back in time to the past. You know why? You can still see American cars of the 50s and 60s actually running on the streets. What's more; you can also find those historic valve radios playing music in cafes.
Cuba is a self-sufficient country over the past decade owing to its history and political system. The country has a unique Afro - Latin culture and this has made Cuba one of the most intriguing holiday destinations in the world.
Cuba has a laid-back and relaxed culture. It is associated with Havana cigars, one of the most famous and sought after tobacco for the cigar lovers throughout the world. You will find it interesting to note that Havana is dotted with marvelous historic architecture which is found in other Cuban cities and villages as well. The city of Havana, being the capital city, offers the visitors an array of beautiful Colonial buildings left behind by the Spanish settlers. Though they look haunted and faded, they remain untouched till today, which explains that the Cubans love to retain their heritage. A walk down on Havana's Calle Obispo will make you see the old fashioned shops and cafeterias. Another place to hang out is Plaza- de- Armas where there is lots of ancient architecture. If someone is going on all inclusive Cuba visit then there are two must- see spots. One is Castillo de la Punta, another is Cuba' oldest building, Castillo de la Real Fuerza.
Cuba is also famous for its own music form known as Salsa which originated there. This kind of music forms a huge part of Cuban culture. The island comes alive with its vibrant spirit and a traveler can immerse himself with Salsa music at live performances. You can also gorge on local food and drink which is worth trying.
To unwind further a traveler can visit the seaside resorts Cuba is famous for. You will come across sun kissed beaches with pristine white sands and clear water beckoning you to have a dip. For a very peaceful and lazy beach experience it is worth visiting Cayo Santa Maria beach. If you have diving and snorkeling in your mind then you have to visit the pristine clear coral reefs off Guardalavacca.
There are several cheap Cuba holiday packages on offer and a traveler has all options to choose from them which suits his budget.
