Viñales, Cuba
Viñales, Cuba When people ask us which three places to see in Cuba, we always answer Havana, Viñales, and Trinidad, as each of these places has its own unforgettable flavor.

Stories from Cuba: Two and a half women aka a story that never happened
Stories from Cuba. It was a hot evening in February in Viñales. The sun was slowly going down. It was the day when our daughter turned 17th months.

Best Beaches in Cuba

Santa Clara: Hasta siempre Comandante Che Guevara
Ernesto Che Guevara has been my hero since I remember. First of all, he was born in Argentina, already enough to land in my circle of “love you forever.” Second of all, he had a passion and was an eternal dreamer. And I’m not writing it here to support communism or any other political agenda. […]
Things to do in Trinidad
From Cienfuegos to Trinidad we took the Viazul bus. One has to be at the bus stop 30 minutes earlier to “check in,” which is to change your receipt to the actual bus ticket. We as well had to check-in the luggage for 0,50 CUC per piece. The drive from Cienfuegos is not long, moreover […]

Vedado
How do we start writing about Vedado? Well, it was a borough of Havana we liked the least (in comparison to the two others we stayed in for longer: La Habana Vieja and Centro Habana).
