There are hotels, beach chairs, umbrellas, police, beer and coconut milk sold right on the beach and all the other small pleasures of a lover to bask in the sand. Very beautiful beaches on the Caribbean Sea in the Trinidad area. Spreading large trees grow right in the sand, in the shade of which you can comfortably sit down without fear of sunburn.

These were the main features of Cuba as a whole. Let's talk about its capital, Havana and its attractions. (you can call it a city guide)

Capitol

Familiarity with the city should start with Old Havana (Habana Vieja) - it is here that you can see the beautiful houses falling apart before our eyes, which tourists like to photograph. You can walk around Central Park, see the Capitol, the Opera House, walk to the fortress of La Punta. On the other side of the harbor you will see the fortresses of El Morro and La Cabanha, as well as a statue of Christ. In the fortress of La Cabana every day at 21.00 they shoot from a cannon, blocking the entrance to the harbor and arranging shows for tourists. Walking along the Malecon promenade and turning off at the monument to Antonio Maseo, you can get to the Amel alley, painted in Afro-Cuban style. Next, take a taxi to Revolution Square - a deserted place in the spirit of either the late USSR or North Korea with huge government buildings and the Jose Marti monument. By the way, you can climb the monument. A couple of blocks to the northwest is the Columbus Cemetery, one of the most beautiful in the world. Halfway from the cemetery to the waterfront, you can find a square with a monument to John Lennon. Still worth a trip to the Park to them. Lenin in the south of the city - take a boat ride on the lake, as well as go to the neighboring botanical garden and zoo. If you have time, take a trip to Finca Vigia Hemingway Manor. Well, you can always go out of town, to the "eastern beaches", for example, in the town of Santa Maria del Mar.
