Downtown Havana Cuba

Hello from Cuba - Exploring Downtown Havana by Susanne Pacher Hotel Habana Libre, Thursday, April 14, 2005, 3:02 pm The last few days I have spent quite a bit of time walking around downtown Havana - or Habana Vieja, as they say around here. It is an extremely fascinating place and one of the most architecturally consistent colonial city centres in the world. A few days ago, my local friend Pedro and I went to explore the Capitolio, which is a beautiful building, ironically very reminiscent of the Capitol in Washington. Built between 1926 and 1929 as the former seat of the Cuban government, its neoclassical exterior is complemented by an absolutely astounding Roman interior with all sorts of meetings rooms, a library, a souvenir shop and an Internet cafe.

Cuba Weather

Cuba Weather My trip to Cuba occurred during the Month of December and was from Christmas To New Years. During this time, the weather was quite warm but was comfortable. Our weather ranged from 25 degress celsius, and the final day we were there it had jumped as high as 35 degrees celsius. The Cuba weather in December does dip down a bit feeling a bit chilly at night after laying around in the sun all day. Some nights shorts and t-shirt were ok, while others a pair of jeans and light jacket helped out a lot. I was told by the locals, that the weather in Cuba in the spring and summer months like June would jump upwards to 39 degrees plus celsius everyday. They had mentioned the pools being really warm to jump into, without feeling any initial chill. A march visit to Cuba may just produce the best "Cuba Weather" for travelling. Any experiences with the weather in Cuba? Post a comment. Regards, Michael Kralj Learn about internet dental marketing to skyrocket your dental pract

Tourism in Cuba: an unforgettable experience

Tourism in Cuba : an unforgettable experience . by Rafael Hernandez What can you expect when you travel to Cuba ? Sun, white sand beaches, salsa music all around? Well, yes, but fortunately, there is much more than that. Cuba is a paradox of experiences, where your senses collide with one another in an explosion of significant magnitude. Here is a place where you can truly find everything and anything, from the most demanding to the most basic and raw. It is up to the individual to discover what he seeks, but in the meantime, we can try to give you some insight and maybe make your decision a little bit easier. For the Canadian traveler , Cuba must seem like another planet altogether.

Whether you are a single traveler or a family of 10, a young child or a elderly person, the wonders of this country will seduce you and will make want to come bac
