Top Tip

Immerse yourself in Cuba’s lively music scene. In big cities such as Havana, it feels as though there’s an impromptu concert happening on every corner but it’s well worth going to some more formal performances too. There’s loads to discover: Afro-Cuban jazz, salsa, timba, bolero, my personal favorite: rumba, and so much more.

My Favorite Destination

I’m a big fan of Holguin, which very few people take the time to visit. It feels like a very authentic part of Cuba, not at all dressed up or packaged for tourists. There are lots of parks, ideal for people-watching, and the hill Loma de la Cruz provides views of the whole city. At the end of the day, you can kick back with a beer from the local brewery.

My Best Experience

My best experience is probably the time I spent in Holguin. I stayed there for a couple of weeks and really got a chance to get to know the city and the people who live in it. Everyone was so friendly and I learned a lot about the everyday life of Cubans. I’m a big believer that a place is only as great as its people – Holguin’s got some of the best.
