Havana is the capital of Cuba and the central place for the 1th May parades. (See my travelogue 1 May celebration in Havana. We stayed here with local people like we did all over the Cuba Island. It’s no luxury hotel, but the inside of these houses is much better then the outside tells you. They have also all the comfort that we have in Europe. The second building was our house during the first days in Cuba, when we stayed in Havana. The penthouse we called it.
Because Cuba is the home of the Salsa, we were following salsa lesions with a private teacher. We did this in 3 sessions of a few hours. We had a lot of fun, but dancing the Salsa, uno dos trez, I still can’t do.
There are a lot of things to do and to experience in Havana, you can walk for days and see a lot of interesting sights and people. Where to walk you can read in several of my travelogues.
- In a nutshell:Salsa, mojito, relax and be alive
