This month, Havana certainly has it going on. An explosion of music, art, dance and video will hit the streets of this extraordinary city to celebrate the 20th international festival of urban dance, Old Havana City in Motion, La Huella de España, Tránsitos Habana, DVDanza and Los Días de la Danza. This is undoubtedly a unique chance to enjoy the music that is such an inherent part of this amazing city.
Right where Vedado meets Miramar, two of the most popular areas in Havana, there is a former oil factory that has now come back to life as an art laboratory, the ingenious idea of the singer X Alfonso. State-of-the-art culture, aesthetic diversity and spiritual enthusiasm are some of the shades of the artistic fusion provided every evening from Thursday to Sunday with the participation of over 500 young people. Catering for many tastes with many options! The centre has a projection room for small bands, literary presentations, performances, conferences and plays. It also has a library and exhibition space, and on the top floor, a dance area, theatre and cinema, a terrace for concerts, a room for digital art and even a place for massages.
Smoking a good cigar is like tasting a good reserve wine. You have to savour it to appreciate all the nuances of its aroma, with hints of wood, leather, earth, honey and pepper. And what can we say about the authentic Havana cigar? The result of a perfect combination of excellent soil and climate, as well as centuries of experience in growing the aromatic leaf. The list of celebrities that have enjoyed Cuban cigars is very long: Winston Churchill, Mark Twain, Auguste Barthelemy, Groucho Marx and even Barack Obama recognise that Cuba is the home of the best tobacco worldwide
