English Version The old Tacón Theatre was in the middle of the 19th century one of the most famous and renowned stages in the Cuban capital, and even in Latin America. Elegant and imposing, this theatre was not only an architectural jewel of its time but also a cultural phenomenon where some of the best artists of Cuba and Europe performed. Locat

English Version Since ancient times man has had a fascinating curiosity about the cosmos. Looking at the sky and the stars has always been a way of searching for answers to questions that cannot always be found on Earth.

English Version On one of the four corners of the Plaza Vieja in Havana's historic centre stands the tallest building in the square, the Gómez Vila building.

English Version Cuba has always been much more than a tropical island. For those of us who live here and for those who visit us from afar, the sea is not just a beautiful landscape, it is part of our identity.

English Version There are places that not only call us to rest or to the carefree stroll, but also call us to stop, and to contemplate their surroundings.

Through their design and meaning they tell us about events that marked eras and help us to connect with the past in order to know and learn from it.

English Version I am sure that, of all the ways to start the day in harmony, one of the best is to be by the sea. At this hour the sun is still weak and reflects on the water creating bright flashes, like little sparks of light coming off the waves. This area is the entrance to Havana Bay, and my intention on arriving here was to enjoy the scener

From the heights, the view of what surrounds us changes completely. From above, the city we are passing through looks completely different, the perspective changes and what once seemed huge to us now looks small and at eye level. Buildings, trees and cars look like small pieces in a moving model. This could also be a philosophy to apply in life,

English Version In Havana, Cuba, in the park in front of the former Presidential Palace (seat of the Cuban government in the last century and now the Museum of the Revolution) there is a sculpture that for me is one of the most moving and beautiful dedicated to the National Hero, José Martí Pérez. This equestrian work of the Cuban hero recre

English versión I always say that to walk around Old Havana is to enter a place full of history and beauty where every little space offers a wonder to be discovered.

English Version Every time I walk through the old part of Havana, I am not only amazed to find new things and discover hidden details, but it also gives me the opportunity to learn about its history. In every part of Old Havana, even if it is a small space, there is always something interesting to show. Today I want to share a tour of two of its
