This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Best and Most Unique Cuba Travel Guide Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean and home to about 11 million Cubans. This is a truly unique place, which most of you know because of our famous history and infamous regime. However, Cuba is so much more than what makes it to the media or in the press. Contrary to popular belief, it's a very welcoming place and tourists are always made to feel at home, or as a very important guest of our little island. Cuba has developed at a different pace than any other country in the world. Life on the island is filled with rhythms of music, charismatic people, a unique culture, idyllic countryside and tropical beaches. Cuba never ceases to amaze tourists and locals alike, with its fading colonial architecture, classic cars, and delicious food and flavorful rum. When you walk the streets of Cuba you will notice an appreciation for art and culture like nowhere else in the world. Conversely, the countryside is home to unspoiled nature that dazzles you with its diversity of flora and fauna. You will surprised to find a different Cuba these days due to a number of factors that are slowly awakening Cuba from its long hibernation in the socialist regime that it endured for a long period of time. First of all, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, which sent Cuba in a financial crisis, and then Fidel Castro, becoming too old to run the country handed it over to his brother, Raul. The differences in the style of governing didn't take too long to appear. The Cuban people enjoy more freedom everyday. There is an unprecedented increase in the private sector with more and more Cubans allowed to venture into owning and operating their own businesses. This is also reflected in the provincial areas and the bureaucracy seems to become less troubling for travelers, who are getting access to private businesses with the mission of making the process effortless. The recent talks about lifting the embargo and improving the US-Cuba relationships is a step forward but it's still illegal for Americans to visit Cuba. Not because we don't allow it. It's the US Government that fines its citizens for visiting this country. We'll talk about the visa aspects in a future chapter. Let this book guide you to the many places that you must see in Cuba to make this trip a life changing event. This book is filled with suggested places to stay, from budget to luxurious, places to visit, local cuisines to try, and places to shop. All these suggested itineraries have been experienced first-hand and are all highly recommended to tourists. Experience a whole new world when you come and visit Cuba.

Recognizing a void in the travel industry, she founded Dame Traveler, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia herself has traveled to sixty-three countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way. Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80% of which have never been seen on the Instagram account.

Download or read book Cuba What Everyone Needs to Know written by Julia E Sweig and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2009-06-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Fidel Castro assumed power in Cuba in 1959, Americans have obsessed about the nation ninety miles south of the Florida Keys. America's fixation on the tropical socialist republic has only grown over the years, fueled in part by successive waves of Cuban immigration and Castro's larger-than-life persona. Cubans are now a major ethnic group in Florida, and the exile community is so powerful that every American president has kowtowed to it. But what do most Americans really know about Cuba itself? In Cuba: What Everyone Needs to Know, Julia Sweig, one of America's leading experts on Cuba and Latin America, presents a concise and remarkably accessible portrait of the small island nation's unique place on the world stage over the past fifty years. Yet it is authoritative as well. Following a scene-setting introduction that describes the dynamics unleashed since summer 2006 when Fidel Castro transferred provisional power to his brother Raul, the book looks backward toward Cuba's history since the Spanish American War before shifting to more recent times. Focusing equally on Cuba's role in world affairs and its own social and political transformations, Sweig divides the book chronologically into the pre-Fidel era, the period between the 1959 revolution and the fall of the Soviet Union, the post-Cold War era, and-finally-the looming post-Fidel era. Informative, pithy, and lucidly written, it will serve as the best compact reference on Cuba's internal politics, its often fraught relationship with the United States, and its shifting relationship with the global community.
