Wil Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 We loved Trinidad. Beautiful old town. Years ago now but remember going to a club in a huge, dilapidated old building filled with local youth. Lots of fun. There was also some sort of street festival going on with music and dancing up the stone streets. Didn't seem like it was a tourist thing (there were very few tourists around when we were there), which made it all the more special. Must convince the wife to go back... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mycroft Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yes, Trinidad is very nice. Plenty of good Casa Particulares in formerly grand old homes. Friendly and low hassle. 10 km from ok beaches. And only a few hours drive from Havana. But I like the eastern end of the island. It is wilder. Baracoa on the far eastern tip of the island, separated from the rest of the island by a mountain range is another world. I once spent a hilarious evening in Guatanamo drinking with a Cuban ex intelligence officer. And if you want to experience real first class Cuban husslers there is no place to rival the home of the revolution - Santiago de Cuba. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGinger Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Loved Cienfuegos. Small town, on a bay. A great place to chill with the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lafabrica Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 can't say a favorite, but Matanzas was a nice 3-day change from Havana. known as the "city of bridges" with underground rivers, caves. this was home base for a scuba trip to the bay of pigs. i suspect most just pass through on their way to Varadero, but the easy city pace was welcoming. i'll find my way to Santiago at some point.
