Cuba: Photos from Havana
September 2, 2008
There is nowhere in the world like Havana. From the resplendent Spanish colonial architecture of the Old Town, to the spectacular dilapidation of Havana Centro, a city of stalwart survivors and masterful musicians rocks indefatigably to the syncopated beat of the rumba. Havana remains characterful, safe, and packed with a plethora of interesting museums.
In 1514 conquistador Panfilo de Narvaez founded a settlement named after a local Indian chief, San Cristobal de Habana. The settlement had to be moved a number of times because of mosquito infestations, but settled on the west side of Havana bay in 1519.
The Baiganchoka Team would like thank some wonderful friends in the Cayman Islands for lending us these photoes of Cuba.
