Sightseeing Havana!
If you feel like a different sightseeing tour in Havana I would recommend you to put out your hand when a “Botero” passes by!
This is a collective taxi, almost always an old US made prerevolutionary wreck that runs along a fixed route. The price is next to nothing but the experience can be worth a lot.
The Boteros are not supposed to pick up tourists but they do anyway!!
From Marianao to Milan!
Chen is selling herbs, beans and rice at the central market in Marianao, Havana. As many Cubans he talks a lot. He is a big fan of AC Milan so that’s one of the main themes in his conversations with clients and colleagues! Nice guy!
Santiago de Cuba!
In the evening the streets of Tivolí turns into a living room, a bar, a love nest, gossip corner, concert arena, football ground, black market shop, dance hall….
Coast is clear?
Calle Maloja, Sitios, Havana.
Demetrio Fuentes.
Every time I visit Viñales in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, I make an excuse to pass by the house of Demetrio.. He is a likeable man!
Loaded security!
New year celebration in Havana 2006.
A big part of the city’s inhabitants gathered in Malecon to enjoy great music and dance all night long. Spirit is high. The Cubans knows how to party but things can get carried away sometimes.
The government seems terrified of disorder and therefore displays huge numbers of
military, police and other security officials to maintain a sense of safety and control.
Now.. I am sure this particular security guard (whatever that bottle contains?) is doing his best but….
Walking the dog!
An old man and his “compañero” walking the streets of Guanabacoa, Havana at nightfall!
Tres mulatas!
A few days ago, 17 of January, a three-story house collapsed in the area where these girls live. Havana is falling apart!
The Cuban Communist Party is gathering this weekend in Havana to talk about reforms,
ways to renew its aging leadership and the eventual separation between the party and the state!
More interesting information (for the spanish speaking) about the day-to-day life in the capital of Cuba is found in Generacion Y by Yoani Sánchez.
“En las calles Infanta y Salud, un edificio de tres plantas no soportó más y se vino abajo en la noche del martes 17 de enero”

Turning the corner in Camaquey!
Parking myself patiently in a street corner in Camaquey, Cuba I managed to catch this young couple following them with my camera at 1/20 sek.
