Two Centre Holiday - Havana & Varadero
Singles Holidays to Cuba
To visit Cuba is to visit a different world and even the most seasoned traveller is likely to express amazement at the many faces of Cuba on this gorgeous but maddeningly incongruous island. The ‘Fifties’ face is probably the most famous - huge Chevrolets cruising the streets of Havana for example - but that is not to say that everything in Cuba is at least 50 years old. It’s not, and some of the hotels, especially in beach resorts like Varadero, are absolutely excellent. But, to visit the ‘real’ Cuba, be it Havana, Trinidad or Santiago de Cuba, is to slip into a time warp, with 1950s cars, an incredibly laid-back attitude to life (mañana? maybe…) and, everywhere, the sound of old-fashioned music, be it salsa, big bands or Latin love songs. We’ve combined Havana with Varadero for a memorable 2 week holiday and the contrasts couldn’t be more marked. In Havana you’ll experience Cuban life at its most vibrant and have the opportunity to explore Old Havana, the historic heart of the city which dates back to colonial times. You’ll also enjoy Havana’s bustling nightlife, its splendid architecture and unique atmosphere. In Varadero, you’ll be staying on one of Cuba’s finest beaches and have the chance to explore the island on one of the excellent optional excursions. Cuba is very, very different and now is the perfect time to visit before its distinctive character changes for ever.
