Welcome in the big Island of
Cuba, the largest in the
Antilles. With almost 6000km
of beaches of white sand,
its tropical flora covering
its many mountains, its
colonial cities and its
peaceful countryside, it is
easy to fall under its
charm.
The European and African
influences, mixed with the
aboriginals and Asians, gave
birth to a very
characteristic and
diversified people. They are
a warm people and very
sympathetic. Their blood is
hot, especially when the
hypnotic rhythms of Cuban
music are heard nearby.
The Cuban economy consists
mainly of sugar cane, rum,
tobacco, coffee, exotic
fruits, fishing,
pharmaceutical and
biotechnological industries,
nickel mining and especially
tourism. Education is free
for all the levels and is
obligatory until the end of
high school. Medical
services are free for all
Cubans.
