Cuba - Havana
No one could have invented Havana. It’s too audacious, too contradictory, and – despite 50 years of withering neglect – too damned beautiful. Just arrive with an open mind and prepare for a long, slow seduction.
- let your imagination spill over on the evocative cobbled streets of ‘Old Havana’
- hang out with the habaneros amid crashing waves and wandering troubadours in Malecón
- see the sturdy colonial forts that once protected Havana from its cutthroat enemies
