What makes Cuba different from most other places in the world is the absence of advertising, that constant tease we Westerns take for granted. Havana is uniquely rich in history as all shipments from the new world had to travel through Havana to Sevilla in Spain. Cuba is a world superpower of music and Havana an architectural treasure trove without equal. No American city can match its variety of styles ranging from the Plateresque to Cuban Baroque, Neoclassical to Art Nouveau, Deco to Mid-Century Modern and Soviet Brutalism. Cuba conjured a music so powerful it went around the world three times in the 20th Century alone. Classical composers such as Samuel and Cervantes invented Danzas and Contradanzas that with syncopation laid the foundation for "Danzon, Rumba, Ragtime, Salsa and Latin Jazz."Live music can be heard and danced to impromptu on almost every corner. We recommend you visit the spectacular reinvention of Fabrica de Arte Cubano in Vedado to experience the creative Cuban juices first hand. StreetSmart Havana is updated yearly and most current. Simplicity reigns supreme in information design to make complex cities clear and understandable. This is the smartest and easiest to use map of Havana. Remember web access in Cuba is limited to hotels, excruciatingly slow and up-to-date information simply unavailable. So, let StreetSmart Havana be your key to understanding the new world's oldest city. This sexy laminated city map package refolds easily to 4 x 9 inches (24 x 9 inches open) and snuggly fits into your pocket. Buy this map to become an instant StreetSmart Habanero.
