About this ebook
Cuba and Havana in particular, has become one of the favorite holiday spots in the world for Europeans. This can probably be attributed to the great weather, the general colonial charm and the fun-loving locals. The culture in Cuba is very rich and diverse, as it has over 500 years of history. It has been affected by many important cultures of the world, like the European culture, African culture and North American culture. Their art, music, dancing and literature is all influenced by this diverse cultural background.
