I recommend a trip to 'El Cobre' a pilgrim's church just outside of town (by taxi), well worth seeing and for a Christian a very impressive experience.

As for beaches ... there are many around with different characteristics ... though none have white sand and/or a great deal of infrastructure. Try 'Siboney'- the beach most frequented by tourists. Expect some hussling, or 'Mar Verde' or 'El Frances' all about half an hour's taxi ride from town.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10836 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10835 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10835 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10834
All women - note that Cuban men are very, very complimentary and open in their admiration and approach. This is not meant to be disrespectful and the power to take things further is entirely with the ladies! Don't get frightened, just enjoy !!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10834 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10833 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10833 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10766
There is lots of help available these days with regard to investigating and even pre-booking homestays. Websites like www.cuba-junky.com provide lists of homestays and first information on the houses. And companies like www.takeyourtimetravel.com offer holidays in Cuba with homestay, pre-booked from the UK.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10766 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10765
Airconditioned and therefore a nice place to go to especially in the summer.

You need to get your tickets before 7.00 p.m. on the door and that way find out if the venue is open to the public that day.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10765
