And the reason is easy to know: &#8220;Cuba is unique&#8221;.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And when writing one about this island, you wonder&#8230; where do I start to detail so much beauty, so much charm and so much Caribbean philosophy? How to sum up its form of existence (and resistance) away from the dominant model. Perhaps the best is to recreate in a first part in the capital, <strong>Havana.<\/strong> We will continue on another date with some of the charms of Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1514 by the conquistador <strong>P\u00e1nfilo de Narv\u00e1ez<\/strong> under the founding name of &#8220;Villa de San Crist\u00f3bal de La Habana&#8221;, it was one of the first eight villas founded by the Spanish Crown on the island. Declared its old town World Heritage by UNESCO in 1982, its streets are full of history, cobblestones and classic cars, lost Cubans looking at the horizon and seeking their livelihood, convinced of a Revolution that some blindly support and others deny because they did not get what they wanted or because of fierce criticism of the established, as in all countries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_118777\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-118777\" style=\"width: 221px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-118777\" src=\"https:\/\/thediplomatinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Che-ok.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thediplomatinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Che-ok.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thediplomatinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Che-ok-171x300.jpg 171w, https:\/\/thediplomatinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Che-ok-585x1024.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-118777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Revolution Square.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The greatest charm of Havana is walking through its streets. Its luxury holiday hotels, both in the historic area and in the municipalities of Playa and Miramar, and their commemorative squares of some historical fact or in homage to its main executor of independence, <strong>Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed, <\/strong>or to<strong> Che Guevara <\/strong>or<strong> Camilo Cienfuegos,<\/strong> leaders of the Revolution, contrast with some half-demolished buildings waiting to be reformed and rebuilt by the Cuban authorities. Among this dramatic contrast stand out the colonial, Mudejar, neoclassical, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and eclectic buildings that abound in its historic center.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wonderful and beautiful the building of the <strong>Gran Teatro de La Habana &#8220;Alicia Alonso&#8221;,\u00a0 <\/strong>the <strong>Bacard\u00ed building,<\/strong> the <strong>Embassy of Spain,<\/strong> etc. <strong>The Central Railway Station the University of Havana <\/strong>and the <strong>Capitol<\/strong> are examples of the nouveau style. The Capitol dome is 62 meters away and was the highest point in the city and an example of American influence at the time. Its Cathedral is in the Spanish baroque style and is dedicated to the patron saint of Cuba, the <strong>Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre,<\/strong> who is also known as &#8220;cachita&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_118779\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-118779\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-118779\" src=\"https:\/\/thediplomatinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Capitolio-ok.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thediplomatinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Capitolio-ok.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thediplomatinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Capitolio-ok-171x300.jpg 171w, https:\/\/thediplomatinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Capitolio-ok-585x1024.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-118779\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Capitol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In terms of modern style, the <strong>Focsa Building<\/strong> and the <strong>Habana Riviera Hotel<\/strong> in the Vedado neighborhood, as well as the <strong>Habana Libre Hotel.<\/strong> And next to it, it is worth stopping at the beautiful <strong>Hotel Nacional,<\/strong> opened in 1930, which displays an eclectic architecture by mixing art deco, neocolonial, classical Roman and Spanish Moorish styles.
