Authentic Havana

A spontaneous trip

I had always wanted to go to La Habana and spontaneously decided to do so one day. Three days later, after long hours of flying, transiting in Bahamas, and endless wait at the costums, there I was, with 3 days in front of me.

A love story

I imediately fell in love with the city and its inhabitants. Havana has a decadent charm; people are simple, curious, helpful and authentic.

I couldn't bare the thought of leaving and extended my stay of another two days.

 You said, It's impossible to believe that the Cubans of Miami come from here. Their way of being seems so far apart. For some reason or another, most Cubans (including the ones that were raised by Fidel) that end up in Miami change drastically.
