Trinidad


Colourful Street in Trinidad with yellow wall
A lovely small town, definitely worth to visit. Beautiful beach, cobblestone roads  and colourful streets. I still remember the delicious lobsters dinners for 8$, just amazing. It's a very quite place to relax, also there is a very interesting disco called "La Cueva" Which is built into a cave.

Cigars are still hand-made, you will be approached by hundreds of people trying to sell you fake Cigars in Cuba, I mean not original Cohiba or San Cristobal which are the most popular. I've learned a trick by a Cuban tobacco farmer, he told me that if the cigar is a good quality, the the hash should burn evenly, if you see that the cigar burns more from one side then the Cigar isn't good.
