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.

Here are 3 holidays that I think you should consider this year:

Jamaica – What a fantastic place, first of all it’s in the Caribbean, which means we’re off to a good start. Sandy beaches and sun all of the time, it’s guaranteed to keep you smiling. One of the best ideas is to go swimming with dolphins, although you can do this in other places, but with the climate and the atmosphere it feels a lot more natural in Jamaica. There are Sting rays to go for a swim with too, this is more relaxing than the Dolphins, and not quite so energetic. However if you don’t want to do either of these, you can still go and visit the Bob Marley museum, this place always receives good reviews. Try Jamaica holidays, they really are special.

Cuba – This place is another destination in the Caribbean where you can enjoy the sun. Cuba is energetic yet peaceful, there is so much to do on this island but I will only mention a few of them. You can go to a cigar factory and learn to make a cigar and actually make one yourself, if you don’t want to smoke it then give is to a friend as a holiday pressie, but its great fun. Varadero is another place in Cuba you must visit, it has a beautiful long beach and provides all kinds of hotels, bars and restaurants. Many famous people have visited Cuba and it’s given us some great actors and historical figures. The Nacional hotel is a famous landmark in Cuba, it has starred in gangster films with the likes of Frank Sinatra, and has had People such as Winston Churchill stay. Cuba holidays are absolutely booming don’t miss out.

Dubai – Well I think that you all know how popular this place is but I will help shed a bit more light. The thing with Dubai is it feels like its designed to make us feel special. The difference between Dubai and home is that you can feel like a millionaire in Dubai, the people are friendly and the markets are welcoming. Dubai is the center for gold trading, so when you go to the markets, and you must, just make sure that the gold market is doing well. Riding the skies in a hot air balloon is great where ever you are, but over Dubai you get a sense of how small it is in comparison with the deserts around it. You should try going on holidays to Dubai, they are so uplifting.
