Cuba, a land of vibrant colors and timeless rhythms, where the sun kisses the earth with warmth and the sea whispers tales of ancient shores. From the lively streets of Havana to the serene beaches of Varadero, Cuba captivates the soul with its rich tapestry of culture and history.

In Cuba, time seems to dance to the beat of its own drum, where every moment is a celebration of life and resilience. The melodies of salsa and son fill the air, echoing through cobblestone streets adorned with colorful colonial architecture.

But beyond its picturesque landscapes and rhythmic melodies lies the heart of Cuba—the spirit of its people. With unwavering strength and boundless passion, Cubans embrace each day with a zest for life that is as infectious as it is inspiring.

In Cuba, every corner tells a story, every smile reflects a journey, and every sunset paints a masterpiece across the sky. It is a place where simplicity meets beauty, where history and tradition intertwine to create a tapestry of experiences that linger in the heart long after the journey ends.

Cuba, a land of enchantment and wonder, beckons travelers to discover its hidden treasures and embrace the magic of the Caribbean. In its embrace, one finds not just a destination, but a soulful journey that leaves an indelible mark...

Visiting Havana, Cuba was amazing. We had an excellent guide that was very informative and accommodating. We did a walking tour through old Havana, if you like coffee I recommend taking time to stop at a local cafe and having a small cup of Cuban coffee, stir with a stick of sugar cane and add a little cream. We stopped at a local perfumery and of course I had to buy a bottle. **One thing to remember and if you want to give your guide a great tip, bring small toiletries to donate (travel size shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, deodorant, toothbrushes and even toilet paper). They generally dont have these items and when they do, it isn't the best quality. There isn't a nice sandy beach in Havana, you would need to drive out about 20 minutes to Santa Maria, which is...

La Plaza de San Francisco de Asís (Piazza di San Francisco de Asís) si è sviluppata verso il Porto dell’Avana, nel corso del XVI secolo, quando i galeoni spagnoli attraccavano nel molo passando per le Indie fino alla Spagna.

Nel corso dei primi anni del XV secolo, si installò nella piazza, un mercato e nel 1608 venne costruita una chiesa. Ma il mercato venne trasferito a Plaza Vieja, a causa delle numerose lamentele dei monaci, per il rumore provocato.

La Plaza de San Francisco de Asís fu totalmente restaurata alla fine del 1990. Nella piazza i punti più interessanti e curiosi sono il suo irregolare selciato; la Fonte dei Leoni, la più bella dell’Avana e quella di maggior valore simbolico, fatta in marmo bianco, opera dello scultore italiano Giuseppe Gaginni, nel 1836; il Terminal Sierra Maestra, dal quale partono le imbarcazioni cariche di turisti; la Lonja del Comercio, coperta da una cupola; e il Cavaliere di Parigi, una statua più che moderna, situata fuori dalla chiesa, che rappresenta un personaggio di strada molto popolare, che girava per le vie dell’Avana, negli anni ‘50, intrattenendo i viandanti con le sue opinioni su svariati temi.

Questa piazza coloniale ospita alcuni dei luoghi più interessanti dell’Avana Vieja, così come anche la Chiesa e il Monastero di San Francisco de Asís, che oggi, ospita il Museo D’Arte Religioso; il Museo del Rum; e Coche Miambí, un vagone treno costruito dagli USA nel 1990 e trasferito a Cuba, nel 1992.

Altri luoghi d’interessa in Plaza de San Francisco de Asís e nei dintorni sono il Museo Alejandro Humboldt e l’Acuarium, un piccolo acquario di pesci d’acqua dolce, situato in via Brasil n° 9 (orario d’apertura dalle 9.00 alle 17.30 da martedì...

The picturesque Plaza de San Francisco is directly across from the port. It appears more commercial in nature than the other plazas since the old customs house and former stock exchange were here. The most important building in the square though, is the Basilica Menor de San Francisco de Asis. Built from 1580-1591, it features a 42 metre high bell tower and contains the remains of influential Havana citizens. In the square you’ll likely find groups of people relaxing on the steps of the Fuente de los Leones, a fountain modeled after the famous one in the Alahambra.
