Cuba – A Journey In Pictures
34Cuba is definitely one of my favourite countries. It has its very own soul and it’s so unique and peculiar like barely any other country is. And Cuba is beautiful. Here are my Cuban highlights in pictures.
One of the most unique things in Cuba are the cars. The old ones, the classic ones. And Che is all over the place too. Although a ride in a Cuban car isn’t always comfortable it’s a must thing to do.
Havana, Cuba’s capital, has its very own rhythm and is as colorful as its facades are charmingly peeled off.
La Floridita is definitely one of Havana’s most popular bars. Ernest Hemingway’s favourite waterhole hasn’t lost all of its classic charm yet although the flow of tourists and the AC do their best.
Sancti Spiritus is definitely my favourite place in Cuba, this small town is even more unique, more Cuban than other Cuban cities I’ve been to. And there are no tourists at all…
The Cubans have the rhythm in their soul and carry their hearts in their hands. Sometimes also lemons.
If you’re craving the caribbean feeling, Cayo Largo is the place to be. The island in the South of Cuba offers snow white beaches and palms like in a commercial.
Great photos! You captured it well, I think. I’d really love to go there myself someday!
thank you Amanda! Cuba is definitely a must go place
One of my favorite places too – your photos are great, really capture my memories of Cuba
A place I definitely plan to visit. Great photos!
Thank you Stephanie, if you need any more tips, please let me know.
Would love to visit Cuba. Love your colorful, vibrant photos. They really seem to capture the Cuba that I’ve always imagined.
Thank you Cathy. Cuba is definitely a place where you’ll find what you imagined…
And for a really great travel guidebook for Cuba I highly recommend My Seductive Cuba by Chen Lizra. She is a dancer and really knows the cultural scene.
Thanks for the tip Leigh, will check it out!
I love the photos of the people – they really bring the place to life. I can’t wait to visit there one day.
Love the portraits!
Thank you Sophie. The story behind the picture of the woman is actually very interesting. I was walking through Trinidad when this woman came to me and asked me if she can have my bra. yes, my bra. Cubans often don’t have the possibilty to buy stuff like bras, tights or even lighter and pens, so they often ask tourists for stuff like this. I didn’t gave her my bra in the end but some other stuff and asked her if I could take her picture. She was very friendly and even invited me for dinner in her house, but sadly I had to catch a bus.
You’ve just further stocked my desire to go to Cuba. Oh my goodness–that beach! Looks like a Hollywood version of the perfect beach.
Haha, yes this beach is amazing. And I had the best Pina Colada in my life at this beach…
Cayo Largo is beautiful! I bet those sands are softer and smoother that what the photo shows which makes it even better! Cuba looks certainly looks like a wonderful place.
Yes, it is Alexa.
but it’s really difficult to walk through those sands because they are so soft and smooth 
Beautiful photos! Cuba is on my must-visit list. I love how you really captured the emotion and the joy of people in the pictures. Says a lot about the spirit of the place.
Thank you Ellen. The spirit of the Cubans is definitely one reason everyone really should visit this place.
Wonderful pictures! Perfect for a cold day here in Calgary!
Thanks Claire, that was also my inspiration for this post. Was sitting here in cold Berlin and daydreaming about my trip to Cuba…
Would love to go to Cuba… and also get my hands on some of those 1950′s American cars.
Oh yes Don, these cars are breathtaking!
Just a few weeks away from heading to Cuba (Havana & Cayo Largo) and this post has just made me even more excited!
That’s fantastic Iain! If you need more tips just let me know!
Fantastic photos – I would love to visit Cuba!
So colorful! I love these photos!
Lovely photos! I love all the colour – it’s exactly what I think of when I think of Cuba! Love that first pic of the red car with Che in the background.
Wonderful photography – really bring back my rich memories of travel in Cuba!
Wow, this makes me want to go even more than I did before! The colours in these pics are amazing.
Thank you Aisleen, Cuba is definitely a place everyone should visit.
This is such a happy post. I really have to get myself to Cuba. I love the photo of the car with the picture of Che in the back ground. Nice work!
Thank you! That’s also my fav Cuba picture!
