Havana
'The most beautiful land ever seen,' said Columbus in 1492, and even today Cuba's 2,000 miles of tropical coastline, 300 beaches that melt into amazingly clear seas, and lush mountain interior will lead many visitors to concur!
Its rich Spanish colonial heritage has left a superb architectural legacy, and though the faded grandeur of Havana's facades and plazas reflect a now-lost glamorous heyday, the capital's inescapable rhythms of salsa and rumba are reminders that its irrepressible Latin pulse remains vibrantly alive.
