The Old City of Havana, Cuba (Photo Essay)
The charm of Havana's old part is unforgettable!
I have wanted to go to Cuba for a long time, but out of moral conviction I have resisted to visit. But, I’m the kind of traveller who believes that no politics or other beliefs should keep one away from visiting any place in the world. Go see and make up your own mind. You may be welcomed by the locals, even if you totally disagree with them and/or their government. So off I went, in February 2016. I made it before Obama, The Rolling Stones, and the mass tourism that is expected soon. Was glad I went. Great old city for photography. Sadly I did not find the locals nearly as charming as their city. In fact, I personally found the locals not welcoming at all, though they loved my dollars! 🙂
