Cuban Holidays: Things You shoud See.

Are you thinking about holidays to Cuba? Well, out of all the Caribbean Islands, Cuba is definitely one with more to offer than just a beach holiday . The locals are friendly, charming and welcome you with a smile. Their cultural heritage is colourful, as are the monuments of their often tumultuous, always fascinating history. A Cuban Holiday is without a doubt one to consider.

These are just some of the facts to consider and places and things you should not miss in your holidays to Cuba.

Driving: The island has a well-developed network of roads, with a main highway linking Pinar del Rio to Guantnamo, more than 1,120 km (700 miles) away, and several good coastal highways between the resorts. Driving is on the right. The rules follow Western European and North American norms and speed limits-50 kph (30 mph) in town, 90 kph (56 mph) on paved country highways, 100 kph (62 mph) on the Autopista Nacional.

Copa Rum Night Club in Havana: Replacing the legendary Palacio de Ia Salsa, the old hotel’s night club has been refurbished to capture the glittering atmosphere of the 1950s. Under the Old Nick name of the famous Copacabana, it has two floorshows, at 10 p.m. and midnight, with prices moderately expensive.

Tropicana in Havana: This huge nightclub, open-air in fair weather, is certainly the most famous in Cuba and perhaps in the whole Caribbean. A national institution since its opening in 1939, it is located at the south end of Vedado, quite far out in the city’s western outskirts, but is served by shuttle-buses stopping at the major hotels. Prices may seem steep, including transportation and one cocktail, but you get your money’s worth. The floorshow is truly spectacular, with scores of gorgeous, extravagantly costumed dancers, male and female, strutting their stuff on the stage and snaking their way among the tables in an exotic setting of tropical vegetation. The atmosphere is quite as intoxicating as the freely flowing rum, tempting the most staid custurners to get up on their chairs and dance.

Cayo Coco: Covering an area of 364 sq km (140 sq miles), this is the best developed of the Camaguey archipelago’s resort islands off the Atlantic coast. Causeways join it to the mainland across the Bay of Dogs, and to neighbouring Cayo Guillermo to the west and Cayo Romano to the east.
