Cuba

Cuba, a large Caribbean island nation under communist rule, is known for its whitesand beaches, rolling mountains, cigars and rum. Its colorful capital, Havana, features wellpreserved Spanish colonial architecture within its 16thcentury core, Old Havana, loomed over by the prerevolutionary Capitolio. Salsa emanates from the citys dance clubs and cabaret shows are performed at the famed Tropicana.
