CUBA: 101 BEAUTIFUL & NOSTALGIC PLACES TO VISIT
WHY CUBA IS THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND TO VISIT IN 2018?
When envisioning Cuba, images of 1950s American cars, historically significant architecture, pristine isolated white sand beaches, and Buena Vista music ensembles come to mind. But, for those who venture beyond the capital city of Havana, there are the dramatic landscapes and tobacco fields of the island’s western province, Pinar del Río; and the tourist-free eastern mountainous provinces of isolated and undiscovered colonial towns and villages suspended in time.
Even though the current administration in the United States White House is attempting to reverse President Obama’s 2014 travel directives, both individual and group travel is still legal. In addition, Cuba remains the safest place in the Americas! It is a perfect time to visit before the floodgates open – visit Cuba is now.
Wednesday, March 16, 2017 – Leaving my favorite restaurant, La Guarida, with our fearless leader, Michael Connors (on the left) and our group… with a little attitude! One more trip is planned from April 17-23, 2017 for Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts. There are a few spots still available, if interested.
🇨🇺 — with Michael Connors, Kate Millard, Viola Tagliatela, Abigail Collier Floe, Stephen Tagliatela and Ana Daniel.
