A colorful Havana

Cuba is an archipelago located in the northern Caribbean, at the intersection of three major seas: the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is surrounded by four large island groups, of which Cuba is the main island, which occupies most of the country's area and is also the 17th largest island in the world.

The Cuban population and culture are a mixture of many sources based on anthropology, history and geography. Of which, colored people are 51%, white people 37%, black people 11%, Chinese people 1%. The official language of Cuba is Spanish. You can prepare some communication sentences in this language to easily communicate with the locals.

Havana still prides itself on being the capital of museum-quality vintage cars, with Chevrolets, Fords and Cadillacs from the 1950s still running the streets.

“Classic cars” are a unique “specialty” of Cuba. This is probably the only place on earth that still preserves many classic cars and is still in normal daily use. Sitting in colorful cars, with all brands from Cadillac, Buick, Ford Moto, Chevrolet, chatting with the open-minded driver while the engine roars, without a speedometer, speeding on the windy streets of the sea will bring a very different feeling about this place.

It would be a terrible mistake to return to Cuba without trying to drive or ride around in a colorful vintage car.

The cars painted in bright colors are an extremely interesting highlight that makes Havana vibrant and full of life. The bustling image of the streets mixed with the sound of car horns and the sound of arguing in Spanish will definitely make you extremely excited when traveling to Cuba.

No visit to Cuba would be complete without walking through the quaint cobblestone streets, many of which have been restored by the Havana City Historical Office.

And finally, a special treat for tourists are the colorfully dressed women chewing cigars, ready to hold your arm and leave a wonderful kiss on your cheek. The purpose is to get you to take a photo with them in a polite manner but you need to pay them a little money.
