The arrival
Although our first week in Cuba has been plenty of amazing surprises, we began the trip considerably scared: when the plane was about to land at the José Martí International Airport, we got sorrounded by an aguacero - a sudden and powerful storm-. In a moment, the flight turned terrifying as the turbulences shaked us violently. My wife and I could not believe such a horrible situation, but the man who delivered us up to the hotel after we arrived said that this kind of phenomena is very common here. We left our luggage and disposed to enjoy the experience. We spent almost all our time in sightseeing the main places of Havana, including Santa María del Mar, a paradisiacal beach. We bought many souvenirs, knew local people and also danced with them! I think we could appreciate every colorful corner of this city –and it felt extraordinary-.
