Covarrubias
Beach
This beach is on the northern coast of Las Tunas Province,
in the eastern part of Cuba. Bathed by the Atlantic Ocean,
the area has more than 35 virgin beaches of great beauty and
quality, among which only one-Covarrubias- has been opened
to international tourism. Because of its white sand and warm,
gree-blue water, protected by a coral reef nearly two miles
(around three km) long, many people consider it the most beautiful
beach in eastern Cuba.

Galas
de Cuba
Cuba, mi suelo querido,
Que desde niño adoré,
Siempre por ti suspiré
De dulce afecto rendido.
Por ti en el alma he sentido
Gratísima inspiración,
Disfruta mi corazón
Por ti dulcísimo encanto,
Y hoy te vendigo y te canto
De mi ruda lira al son |
El
Guateque
Ven acá, Rufina mía
Prenda de mi corazón,
Que esta noche hay diversión,
Algazara y alegría.
Cese la melancolía
Que esta noche es de gozar;
Tenga término el pensar
No haya disgusto ni pena,
Que ya el tiplecillo suena
Y nos convida a bailar. |

Telefono restaurant : 31-345647 / Telefono celular : 52713072
In a few words WOW i went to this Paladar, it is 100% completely out of the common from any paladar in cuba, First it is all OUTDOORS, in a Jungle setting, it has Lasers all over the plase, also has a LED light system that ive only seen in the USA, it also has a 55" LED tv with a surround system that has vidios all the time, one of the most impresive things is the PINE tree it has some sort of lights that arelike ICECLEs that fall from the sky. it has a WATERFALL that is lit by LEDs and the side wall has lit Gigantic posters, the food and asmosphere is one of a kind, the experience there was one of a kind.

Most easy to drive around Cuba is the Viazul
Bus
A hyper modern airconditioned bus with video
and toilet
For a good price you can travel between all
the big cities of Cuba
p.a. a ride from Havana to Varadero will cost
you $10
One suggestion is to bring a sweater because
it can be a bit chilly inhere
