A holiday to Cuba can be a magical and unforgettable experience. It really has a taste of something quite out of the ordinary and is a welcoming and vibrant holiday destination.
The wonderful architecture of downtown Havana is a must see and the beautiful landscapes of Cuba are enough to take the breath away. Havana is the largest city in Cuba and is home to approximately one quarter of the island's population. Beach life is also a big part of a Cuban holiday with some of the Caribbean's most sensational beaches.
The Cubans love their music and gave birth to a number of music styles, among them the cha-cha-cha, the mamba and the rumba. You might say that music is in their blood. Another big favourite in Havana is jazz. Jazz clubs permeate the city and it's not unusual to see a lone saxophone player on a street corner playing some smooth sounds. Music really is extremely prevalent throughout the whole country and is a big part of the personality of this wonderful country.
You are practically guaranteed great weather when holidaying in Cuba. Cuba has what's known as a semi tropical climate and the cool trade winds that come in from the sea ensure that it never gets too sweaty. It all makes for great beach weather but at the same time, cool enough if you want to take in some sites as well.
When it comes to food, there are some extremely tasty dishes on offer. Caribbean flavours are fused with American and Spanish with a dollop of African spice to create something quite unique and extremely tasty. Eating out in Cuba and Havana particularly is an exciting and colourful experience. Restaurants are lively places and are almost always extremely fairly priced.
