Okay, so I might seem a little harsh, but travelling through Cuba for 3 weeks really made me sad to see the political hopelessness and the minimum of living conditions many of the people were in.
You’ve probably seen the nostalgic images of vintage cars, pastel colonial buildings and happy Cubans drinking rum. This is of course the postcard image. Just around the corner you’ll find houses threatening to fall down on pedestrians, residents trying to earn a living by renting their home to tourists all set in the pastel-coloured colonial frame.
But Cuba’s tumultuous past and unsure future doesn’t make it less interesting to a cultural traveller. The city is relaxed, beautiful and filled with history!
Lovely photos
Thanks!
