We saw so much and met many locals who shared their lifestyle and hospitality.
Stayed in local houses in Viñales which was very enjoyable and got us closer to local culture than in the hotels.
Havana was vibrant, safe and fun!
Played Robinson Crusoe for the day on the desert island catamaran trip-incredible!
All in all an experience never to be forgotten. I am so glad i went on this holiday with Walk Andalucia/Cuba.
The adventure of a lifetime!”
