During a group tour of the artist's studios of Havana, we were introduced to the art of Lazaro Niebla. Using antiques shutters from local buildings, Mr. Niebla carves the likeness of aged faces he sees on the streets. Each is dimensional, some are tinted, but all are wonderful.

Plaza Mayor is a beautiful square at the heart of Trinidad,the most beautiful city in Cuba and also in the Caribbean.All Trinidad is walkable and Plaza Maaaayor should be your first visit to attend the church and the museums. Then you should go back at sunset for more photographs and for dinner at one of the restaurants on the central steps where street musicians provide the entertainment

Whilst on a private tour of Trinidad our guide asked whether we wanted to visit a local pottery shop/factory. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the pottery was actually made on site by a fairly well renown potter. You are able to watch the various items actually being made and fired which was interesting. The array of coloured pottery was extensive and very reasonably priced. We actually purchased a fairly large piece which we did manage to get back to the UK without breaking. There are several photographs of the owner Daniel "Chichi" Santander presenting pieces of his pottery to Fidel Castro and other dignitaries. In the rear area of the showroom there is old convertible Ford Model T car which attracted a fair bit of interest when we visited. It can get very busy if a coach load of tourists suddenly descends without notice. Luckily we were just leaving at the time. Worth a visit.

The hike up the TV tower was a bit sweaty in the Cuban heat, however it was well worth it. Beautiful views! At the top I met a guy who worked there. He was really friendly and showed me around, let me climb onto a section of the roof and showed me different areas and sites through his binoculars. He was one of three people who work up there, working 24 hours before being rostered off for 2 days. I tipped him a CUC for his time.

The altar area was beautiful. There were different chapel areas. One had Christ on the cross, and Mary with a spear in her heart. There's a story about how these statues came there.

Beautiful Ancon beach! Calm warm waters, three klms of white sand to walk enjoying the southing breeze, the murmur of the sea and the scorching sun. Don’t mis the white crayfish digging caves in the sand. Crowded on Sundays with the locals having BBQ, not so much on weekdays. Take a couple sandwiches, a big bottle of juice or water, your favorite book and head for the beach. The restaurants at the hotels are for customers only – people staying all inclusive - and the kiosks where food is sold can be very expensive. If you are staying in Trinidad, the beach it’s only 15 klms away, you can take the Tourist Double deck Bus downtown Trinidad, make sure to keep your ticket for the return trip, and it will take you there in about 45 minutes. The timetables are posted on the windshield of the bus, most tourists take a photo with their cellphone to remember the times. The first bus leaves Trinidad for the beach at 9am; the last one returning to the city leaves the beach at 6pm, not recommended it can be very noisy and crowded. You may also take a “collective Taxi,” up to four people. If you are taken by the tranquility, the calming sound of the waves, and the tranquility that surrounds you and want to see the sunset be sure to arrange for a taxi to pick you up; after 6pm. there’s no bus service to Trinidad. There’s a Coral Reef nearby and boats to take you there diving or snorkeling; they are available at the kiosk beside the Coco Bar; pedal boats can also be rented with guides aboard. The blue seats on the sand are for Hotel guests only however you may rent them or walk up to the far side of the beach and use the Palm-Huts that are free. Enjoy a sunset at the beach it could be unforgettable.

In bar Floridita, you will be delighted with traditional cuban music performed by the best groups of Trinidad. Also you will enjoy the variety of cocktail Daiquiri, this one was the favorite cocktail of the famous writwe Ernest Hemingway.

They say the best night are always unplanned - Bar Floridita is a good bar anyway but circumstances conspired to make it the scene of our most memorable moment from a month long trip round Cuba. We popped in during the afternoon to do the touristy thing of getting a photo standing with the Statue of Ernest Hemingway which is at the bar, and to try the Daquiris (which come in several different flavours and are excellent). There wasn't much going on but the friendly barman chatted and told us it was worth coming back for the band that evening who were very good and playing from seven until ten. After our evening meal we decided to head back (like I said, the Daquiris were excellent...) and got there for about nine - there were a couple of seats left but it was fairly busy. Typically, the band played one more song and then finished and started packing up, and most people left. The barman recognised us from earlier and having promised good music until ten obviously felt a bit obliged, so went to have a word with the band. We expected a song or two but instead the band came and sat at our table and basically gave us our own personal concert for almost an hour - needless to say they got bought drinks and tipped very well. All in all a fantastic night in a very friendly venue - we obviously got lucky but I would still recommend going along for the music as the band was the best we heard when in Cuba. And of course the Daquiris.......
