Should Cuba just be world known for it’s cigars?
The Cohiba is one of the world’s most expensive cigar brands and has many different types, with prices ranging from 30 pounds to 250 pounds per cigar. All around the world people know Cuba for it’s cigar making skills.
However Cuba isn’t just about the cigars that they make this quaint yet booming island has many other cultural gifts to offer us. The history of this Island is amazing with famous figures ranging from politician Fidel Castro to actress Eva Mendez. Even places like Castillo de Farnes, where Che Guevara and Castro toasted the success of the revolution, these seem to go unnoticed.
Cuba holidays offer us a new niche of tourism. We must remember though that Cuba does make great Cigars and although we are accentuating this point, they do allow us to try and roll our own cigars. The Real Fabrica de Tabaco’s Partuga’s in Havana shows you how to create your own cigar and then help you to roll one. Cuba is now becoming one of the main places to go on holiday because the tourism industry is booming, this makes tourism one of Cuba’s biggest money spinners.
The Cuba hotels are getting more and more modern every day. Although they do have some national treasures, the Nacional Hotel has starred in many gangster films with Frank Sinatra and is one of the oldest hotels on the island. It still however has beautiful flooring and is rated 5 stars, with people like Winston Churchill being one of the many famous figures to have stayed there.
Now that they have ferries from Cuba to Jamaica you can enjoy weekend Jamaica holidays as well. Cuba and it’s cigars are world renowned but this wonderful place provides us with a unique history and beautiful scenery as well.
