The capital of the Island of Liberty

Despite the fact that the cities of Cuba look quite modern, local people honor the traditions and sometimes behave too directly for the metropolis. They easily sit on the steps of houses, smoke, sing songs. In general, they are quite hospitable.

Catholic churches, palaces, roads paved with cobblestones - this whole city is saturated with historicism, it attracts tourists.
