Synopsis

It's taken a long time, but the world is finally waking up to the glories of Cuba. Of course, the Cubans themselves, a diverse and multicultural population, have long known and appreciated the qualities of their homeland. The jewel of the Caribbean, with a history as rich and colourful as its unique and dazzling music, Cuba is now the hot ticket for those with a taste for the different, the dazzling and the authentic. We all know of the icons of the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, but how much do we know about how they have transformed the island, so that now it is no longer the playground of corrupt millionaires, but a sensual playground open to all. It might be the extraordinary scenery, the Sierra Maestra mountain range or the endless beaches. Or else it could be the faded glory of old Havana, a World Heritage site and home to numerous beautifully preserved classic cars. Whatever takes your fancy, sand, cigars, salsa or sun, Cuba has it all, and a lot more besides. Surviving the illegal US embargo for nearly 40 years takes some doing, but the Cubans have got what it takes. From ""Viva la Revolucion"" to ""Pass the Rum,"" there's only one stop to make. And the password? Cuba Si!
