Havana Cuba
Timeworn but magnificent, dilapidated but dignified, fun yet maddeningly frustrating, Cuba is a country of indefinable magic, and Havana is its capital.
Why I love Cuba: For me, Cuba has always had the allure of a forbidden fruit. I love it for its uniqueness, creativity and survivalist spirit; but, above all, I love it because, despite 60 years of setbacks, it remains an upbeat and open place. Walk down the street with a Cuban friend and, within one block, you’ll have received five handshakes, four kisses, three greetings of ‘dime hermano!’ and at least two invites into someone’s house for a cafecito (or something stronger). And every single baby smells like Agua de Violetas. I’ve been lucky enough to visit 75 countries worldwide, but Cuba will always be my número uno. ~ Brendan Sainsbury, writer
Cuba is famous for pastel houses, setbacks and survival, still-running 1950s-era cars and baroque architecture with many columns. Salsa music plays in the dance clubs and cabaret shows are performed at the famed Tropicana. Havana is just 90 miles south of Key West!
