🚖 Urban transport in Cuba:
This is one of the most common ways to take a taxi in Cuba. They are called “colectivos”, because they work on a fixed route, like a bus, with the difference that you can take it anywhere on that route, not at specific stops 😉

🌟 These are usually classic cars, known in Cuba as “almendrones”, due to their almond shape.

🏆 Máximo Francisco Repilado, better known as Compay Segundo, is one of the most distinguished musicians in Cuba. Troubadour and sonero, Compay composed the famous songs popularized by the Buena Vista Social Club, El Chan Chan and El Cuarto de Tula, among others.

Compay never studied in academies, he said that his compositions came from dreams. He sometimes got up and could hear melodies and instruments, as if a musical group was playing on the door of his house 😱

📩 What is your favorite song written by Compay? Share it with us in the comments 🤩🤩

🔎 This is the Paseo del Prado, one of the most important and beautiful streets in Havana. It was built in 1772 and two centuries later, redesigned by the French landscaper Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier. At that time, trees were planted on the sides of the promenade, and marble benches and eight statues with figures of lions made of bronze were placed. It is currently one of the most important avenues in Latin America.

Help Cuba Get Vaccinated! Dear #Traveler friends,

Help Cuba Get Vaccinated!

Dear #Traveler friends,
Cuba lacks syringes and vital medical supplies to meet its mass vaccination goals… Thankfully,
#Cuba has made remarkable progress with their homegrown #vaccines. The two primary vaccines, #Abdala, and #Soberana02 are showing efficacy rates over 90%.

#Havana is almost fully vaccinated! (Likely by the end of the month)

All #Cubans are likely to have at least one jab by September 30th, 2021

What’s the #problem?

Cuba lacks syringes and vital medical supplies to meet their mass vaccination goals… Thankfully, #GlobalHealthPartners is raising funds to send millions of #vaccinationsyringes to Cuba. They have already sent 4 million #syringes and need to send another 2 million fast.

Global Health Partners is a non-profit based in New York and has special permission from the U.S. Department of Commerce to bypass the brutal #Cubanembargo and export vital #medicalsupplies to Cuba.

Will you help Cuba get vaccinated?

🔎 Today we present you the batá drums, percussion instruments representative of the Afro-Cuban culture. It is a set of 3 drums, which are played horizontally, and have two heads, one at each end 🎶

The most common social and musical function of these instruments, within the Cuban folkloric-popular practice, is the invocation of deities during Santeria events. However, they are a symbol of identity that you can appreciate in groups and popular concerts not linked to religion 💃🕺

Sporting its most recent gold leaf on the dome, the National Capitol of Cuba, completed in 1929, is one of the most emblematic buildings in the city of Havana 🔝🔝🔝

This majestic construction, located in Centro Habana, is similar to the Washington D.C. Capitol, but one meter higher, one meter wider, one meter longer and much richer in detail. To finish its construction, it took more than 5,000 workers, 3 years, 3 months and 20 days of work; and about 17 million US dollars 🤑😱

Formerly it was used as the headquarters of the Cuban Congress, but since 1959 it has housed the Cuban Academy of Sciences and the National Library of Science and Technology. Currently the National Assembly is located, and you can also take a tour of its interior and admire the beauties that distinguish it. Among them is the largest indoor statue in all of Latin America, and it also hides a diamond that marks kilometer 0 of the island of Cuba 💎

Located on Cayo Guillermo, one of the small islets found north of the Cuban province of Ciego de Ávila, this virgin beach has one of the best natural and endemic qualities of the area ⛱️⛱️

Do you know how Celia Cruz’s famous cry “Azuca

Do you know how Celia Cruz’s famous cry “Azucar” (Sugar) started? 😃🔝

While in a restaurant, the waiter asked the star if she wanted her coffee with sugar or without sugar. The singer responded with her natural charm and flavor: "I'm Cuban, I like it with sugar!"

She used to tell this anecdote at her concerts, and the public loved the way she said it, so the cry "sugar" became one of her great identity hallmarks.🔥🔥🔥

And how do you like your coffee? With sugar, or without sugar? Let us know in the comments 🙌☕

"The #BuenaVistaSocialClub project traveled the world always changing the members of the #orchestra. Although, it is true that some figures achieved greater popularity, becoming a kind of Buena Vista icon. Many of these original #interpreters passed away a few years ago, others are now of advanced age. Let us remember that, by the #creation date of the project in the #90s, the vast majority of #artists were over 65 years of age."

In this building that you see in the background, every night at 9pm sharp, a cannonball is fired after a ceremony that the public can attend. It doesn't matter if the weather is bad, every night "the cannon shot" announces 9pm 🧨🧨

The fortress was built in Havana in the 16th century, to protect the city from pirate attacks. Since then, it has been an essential symbol of the city. From there you can enjoy one of the best views in all of Havana 🤩🤩

We also guarantee those moments of wonderful sunsets, contact us on our website (link in bio ⬆️)
