 Dancers at the famed Tropicana, in Havana |
For all the crumbling decay, the tarnished and faded glamour, and the shortages and sacrifices there is nothing dormant or moribund about Cuba. Take Latin vibrancy and pride, wind it up a few notches with classic Cuban machismo, stir well with history, intrigue and uncertainty, garnish with a siege mentality, serve warm with Spanish style and you have the very core of the Caribbean, its only truly essential destination. A brief overview of one of the world's hottest destinations, with touches of Hemingway, Monte Cristo No. 4s, Tropicana dancers, daiquiris and rampant music.
