Cuba is a small island. But you wouldn’t know it if you travelled from one end to the other end by car. The country doesn’t have anything like an express way. All roads go through little towns where the roads are filled with bikes, horses, people and cars. But what the heck. Since we went […]

Santiago de Cuba was the nation’s first capital. It was “demoted” in favor of Havana, which was named capital by virtue of its port and its larger economy.

Cateral e Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria

Camaguey Cuba is the capital of one of the country’s largest provinces. Like Havana, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The residents moved the city’s location from its original location by the coast to escape pirates and restive Indians who continually and fiercely resisted Spanish control. Unlike most Cuban cities, Camaguey is not laid […]

sancti spiritus bridge 01

Sancti Spiritus Cuba was founded in the same year (1514) as Trinidad, by the same explorer (Diego Velasquez). Although we only drove through and made a couple photo stops in the city, it is a gem with which even our guide was not particularly familiar.
