Top Tip

If you get the opportunity, go to a ballet performance during your trip. Ballet is a source of national pride in Cuba and the country is home to some of the best dancers in the world. Many Cubans consider a talent for dance to be in their blood but, in the case of ballet, I’m sure the Russian school of training and government funding it receives plays a part.

My Favorite Destination

It’s a tough choice but I’m particularly fond of Cienfuegos, coined the “Pearl of the South”. Its architecture is quite unlike that found elsewhere in Cuba, featuring a heavy French influence. The beautiful bayside setting that Cienfuegos enjoys makes it all the more lovely.

My Best Experience

Exploring art studios in Havana and talking with the hugely talented artists. I saw some spectacular pieces and wanted to take them all home with me. It was great to be able to hear the artist’s thoughts on their work and hear their experiences of the recent interest in Cuban art.
