Salsa your way to the sunny Caribbean for mojito-fuelled Latin nights and days exploring classical fortresses and white beaches on holidays to Cuba.
The pulse of Cuba beats in its capital Havana, where restored classic American cars motor past shabby-chic colonial buildings. Here on Cuba's north coast, idyllic Caribbean islands like Cayo Guillermo stretch along the Sabana-Camagüey archipelago with its turquoise seas and pink flamingos. Just inland from this pristine coast, you are never far from rolling tobacco plantations and the rugged Sierra Maestra mountain range. Spanish conquistadors dropped in at the leafy eastern city of Holguin, famed for its Cristal and Bucanero breweries and the white sandy playground of Playa Pesquero.
