Cuba is not only the largest island in the Caribbean but also the most diverse scenically and culturally. Cuba is positively pulsating with colour and life and nowhere more so than in its lively capital. Even the name Havana, or La Habana to use its Spanish name, evokes images of dusky maidens, cigar smoke, revolution and passion. Today’s Havana may have dropped the revolution fever but the other images and more are still very much alive.
