Hear about journey to Havana Cuba as the Newbie Traveler talks to Talek Nates, a Cuban-American, about the money of the nation of her ancestors.

Talek states, “I traveled to Cuba back again and forth. I had family there up right up until lately. I appreciate it. It is beautiful. I like the new music, the men and women, the mother nature. Havana is intriguing for a lot of motives. It is a colonial town. It was launched in 1519 by the Spaniards who arrived in excess of, seeking for gold. It was the jewel in the crown of the Spanish empire.”

“Havana and Cuba alone have been forbidden fruit since the embargo in 1962. And it was unattainable for lots of, quite a few years for People to travel there. During the Obama period, it turned a small little bit much easier. During the Trump era, it became much more restricted. Now, most not long ago, just a pair of days ago, it turned a lot less restrictive. Most Individuals do not know that they can go to Cuba.”

This nation that is so shut to the United states of america has no McDonald’s and no Burger King. It continue to has its colonial fortifications, its outdated town, seashores, and the previous cars and trucks that it is so properly-recognized for.

Talek starts us in Old Havana checking out a series of the plazas. These incorporate the plaza exterior the cathedral, as nicely as the Plaza de San Francisco de Asís in which locals will celebrate significant gatherings. She also suggests we pay a visit to some of the previous inns that were being common with Americans in the 1950s.

Cuba is known for its nightlife which contains jazz clubs, open up-air nightclubs, floor displays, and far more eclectic venues like the Cuban Artwork Factory which is a transformed cooking oil factory turned into an creative venue. 

Havana has a variety of nicely-known museums like the Museum of the Revolution and the Museum of Fantastic Arts but also scaled-down museums like the rum, chocolate, and tobacco museums. It also has a museum with one of the most effective collections of  Napoleonic artifacts.

We speak about what Individuals in particular can and can not do in Cuba. Talek also presents us some suggestions of points to do in Havana that she does not imagine are worth your time. 

Using the services of an aged 1950s auto and going to some of the lovely beaches are on Talek’s checklist of items to do.
