[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear Tina, I have been to Cuba on several occasions, though, apart from the mid-seventies when I went with a group of Mexican students, I have always gone there for work, so I can't really comment on it from a vacation point of view. That being said, I have developed some good work collaborations and have made some great friends. But then I prefer to travel for the people rather than the beaches; I much prefer to stay with friends however economically constrained they may be than in luxury resorts. Cubans have a great sense of fun and know how to have a party with very little! Havana is gradually being tarted up, but it reminds my very much of the Spain of my youth; dilapidated colonial splendour and people who behave as caballeros (= companeros!).
