The Beautiful Cuban People

In 2014, when former U.S. President Barrack Obama lifted a fifty-year ban on travel to Cuba, many Americans took advantage and saw Cuba for the very first time. The differences amazed them.

At first, the stunning architecture overwhelms them. Cuba, especially Havana, grew quickly in the early 1900s and the intricate, vibrant buildings with Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Roman design still line the streets. And, the streets are literally a living car museum, filled with old, colorful cars, including Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Fords, and even a few Russian brands. It’s quite extraordinary.

The food also amazes Americans. It’s a unique, wonderful blend of Spanish, African, and Caribbean cuisines, with connections to Dominican Republican and Puerto Rican food. Many claim it’s the best they ever tasted. And, the music. Cuban music is considered the world’s most significant influential music.

Most of all, Americans notice the people. The Cuban people are warm, friendly, and captivating. Every single person offers to share their homes and food, even when they barely have anything. Americans readily admit they can be materialistic, but after they meet the Cubans, who value kindness, togetherness, and sharing over tangible items, they feel changed.

Americans also notice how the people recycle, respect the environment, and try to use natural remedies, rather than chemical (i.e. beer and rabbit pellets to control insects). Television and Internet aren’t as easily accessible, so the people gather and sit with one another and talk. They’re don’t ignore those around them and text others. They’re paying attention to family members and communicating.

Socially, the Cubans are more advanced. Gay rights are readily accepted and gender reassignment surgery is free. Cuban law dictates that women must earn the same salary as men and women make up nearly half of the Cuban National Assembly. And, the government finances education and healthcare. Most notably, black and white Cubans interact freely and freely socialize. In America, this does not happen as freely and different races tend to separate themselves. It’s slowly changing, but, again, slowly. Things may not be perfect in Cuba, but Cuba could teach America a few things.

The Differences

Vacationing in a different country is great because you get to experience things you’ve never seen or done before. You see buildings that are designed in ways you’ve never seen before. You taste food you’ve never eaten. You hear a totally different language. You hear certain music for the first time. You meet new friends. It’s a fantastic adventure. 

You also get to see where and how others live. That is the most awesome part of the experience. Most of us spend our lives in one general area and grow accustomed to our surroundings and what takes place on a daily basis. We then naturally assume that it’s all normal and standard for everyone else. But, we live in a great big world and that’s not the case.

The Beauty of Cuba

Cuba has so much to offer. It’s the largest island in the Caribbean and is full of stunning beaches. Its unique jazz, Latin, and Afro-Cuban melodies constantly fill the air. Brilliant cars from days past travel the roads – where else do you actually see them in use?And, the food, with its distinct flavors and spices – you can’t get it anywhere else.

You’ll notice something especially interesting as you stroll along, admiring the uniquely designed buildings and various colors – there’s ardly any advertisements, posters, or signs marring the windows, walls or buildings. All you see are the beautiful colors and the splendid, pristine architecture. It’s fantastic.

“Que Bolaa”

“Que Bolaa” is how Cuban friends ask one another “what are you doing?” and “how are you going to have fun?” That’s how former United States President Barack Obama greeted the citizens when he came to Cuba. It had been nearly a century since an American president last visited.

His kind gesture of friendship inspired a group of tourist professionals to name their then, recently formed, cuban private travel agency,Que Bolaa Travel.

Cuban Food

Many cultures impacted Cuban food. Spain had the most influence, followed by Africa, Italy, China, and Haiti. Cuba took what all these countries offered and developed its own unique dishes. Common Cuban spices include oregano, bay laurel, peppers, coriander, and cumin. Sofrito is a common sauce. Its tomato based, highly seasoned, and is made with a blend of lightly fried vegetables and spices.

Dishes are prepared with the freshest ingredients and while most are relatively simple, they are hearty and delicious (meats are usually so tender, they fall off their bones). A typical meal contains rice and beans, chicken, and/or pork.

The tropical climate produces abundant fruit. Plantains and bananas are plentiful. Plantains, which must be cooked, are common at mealtime, as well. Other fruits include papaya, mango, avocado, pineapple, guava, and coconut.Cuban fruit is very delicious. Usually, once one has a taste, they can never again eat it at home. It’s that good.

Beer and rum are popular and Cuban brands are renowned for quality and taste. Cuban coffee is also famous. It’s superior to most, rich and bold, with a slight nutty, flavor. Cubans serve only the best and suggest it be enjoyed with Cuba’s homemade sugar syrup and warm milk.

Cubans rarely write down recipes. Instead, they pass them down from generation to generation. Such is considered a way to keep family members connected, especially older relatives to younger ones.

Famous Cuba

Cuba is an archipelago (a group of islands) that stretches across the Caribbean Sea. While it is the largest country in the Caribbean, it’s really only about the size of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania or the European country of Poland. So, compared to rest of the world, it’s not so big. Yet, it is hugely famous for so many things.

Here are just a few of the things for which Cuba is famous:
 

• Rum: Cuban Rum is among the finest in the entire world. Its robust, smooth flavor earned it the title, “the spice of life.”

• Baseball: baseball is one of the most played sports in Cuba. In the late nineteenth century, Cubans played baseball with sailors in America and then brought it home. Today, Cubans represent some of the greatest baseball players of all time.

• Dancing: Cuba is renowned for fiery, sexy Latin dances that involve tales of passion. The moves associated with Salsa, Cha-Cha, and Mambo all originated in Cuba.

• Cigars: Cuban cigars always have been and always will be the best. Cuba provides the perfect environment. The soil produces the best quality leaves, especially those used for wrappers, the most important part of the cigar. And, the humid climate is perfect for both the growing and drying of the tobacco plants.

These are really just a few examples. Cuba is also famous for its beaches, music, food, classic cars, colorful streets, and rich history. Words are not enough. You have to see it to appreciate it.

QuéBolaa”

Cubans are also known for being friendly to both friends and strangers. They will ask “QueBolaa?” It means, “what are you going to do today?” and “how are you going to have fun?” That’s because everyday in Cuba is fun. It’sdays and nights are filled with music, delicious food, rich history, and dancing.

QuéBolaaCuba Travel

Everyday, too, QueBolaaCuba Travel asks, “QueBolaa?” It wants to know how you will have fun. You don’t really have to answer. QueBolaaCuba Travel will do that for you. It will do so by offering several Cuba Roundtrips. Here are a few:

You’ll get your chance learn to some of those famous dances when you get a free night in Trinidad.

Later on, you’ll visit Santiago deCuba, which is called the most Caribbean city on the island. It’s the only place in the world where you can enjoy culture and history to the beat of Afro-Caribbean music. It’s extraordinary. You’ll see Céspedes Park, Dolores Square, Padre Pico Stair Flight, and the Morro’s Fortress (Legacy of Humanity). Santiago de Cuba is also where Fidel Castro’s Revolution took place. On January 1, 1959, from the balcony of Santiago de Cuba’s City Hall, he declared his victory.

Later on, you’ll visit Guardalavaca, where you’ll spend three glorious days relaxing on the beach.

Havana Tours and Excursions

Habana (Spanish for Havana) is Cuba’s main port, biggest province, and top business area. It is also a city for the senses – a place one must stroll through in order to properly take in. It’s a place where one listens to rumba music, smells salt scented air, feasts on sumptuous food, sees bright, bold colors on clothing and houses and cars, and touches wondrous treasures. Most of all, one gets to meet the warm and friendly people who are proud of their culture and who will happily show them the sights.
