Casa particulare


You never know about quality of hotels in Cuba so good and economic way to stay is casa particulare, home stay. Locals are renting room in their own house, often offer meals also. Good way to get some tips where to go and to get in contact with locals.

Sanna joined me for Cuba and our flight arrived about same time so we headed together to our first Casa. What a welcome. Surprise was that out host knew English very well so communicating was very easy. Like local habit was, we were taken to other homes also to see what everybody has to offer. One with food, one with cigars and of course, everything with "good prices". All this made me feel very welcomed, it was nothing like Tunisian bazaars where people trying to sell something really get on your nerves.

Good start was topped up with mojitos at the town. At dinned we met fellow traveller Florian. He had been while in Cuba and knew some Spanish it seemed to be good idea to hook up with him. Nice fellow with lot's of good tips.
