enchanting Caribbean island an excellent solution with regard to housing, for those traveling on a independent, is to go to a casa particular . Dwellings of Cubans who enrolled and registered rent one or two bedrooms. Each room has usually two beds and a bathroom and has a cost that varies from 20 to 25 CUC.
In all of Cuba in the thousands, all of good quality and with people who will welcome you in their family often showing excellent tour guides can provide all sorts of information. Recognize these houses by the blue triangle affixed to the door of the stable and writing arrendador in uniform, some in towns like Viñales and Trinidad there are about a hundred .....
A real network of these houses is made by each tenant who will provide you with addresses in each city, will call you to his contacts booked the room and if it is not clear is used to direct you to someone else. In short, a structure of solidarity and mutual support that will prevent you from running out of accommodation and support.
addition to an inexpensive way of accommodation you will have the opportunity to live in contact with Cuban families, to interact with them, to talk, to exchange opinions, to get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow they live. Their protection is always up to you, whatever you ask will always be ready to give aid.
university professors, journalists, professionals, retirees talking with the owners you will often hear you give these answers. A broad panorama of professions, a real surprise for us Westerners, but a normal in Cuba, where social classes are almost non-existent.
Linger a bit 'in the beautiful patios that many of these were home sipping a guava juice , looking at the interesting Cuban TV, reading a magazine or Granma Juventù Rebelde but also chatting with owners and listening to many stories that have tell.
From grandparents to grandchildren, all in the same house, you will often see several generations living together and not miss the opportunity to observe children playing or studying.
Many homes offer the possibility to have breakfast and dinner. Prices are an average of 3-4 CUC for breakfast and between 5-8 per meal. The food is good and abundant, are usually followed by a soup and main course accompanied by various side dishes (tomatoes, cucumbers, fried potatoes, fried bananas, etc.). I suggest to avoid too heavy breakfast and customs different from Italian, better to buy some snacks for the road between the other tasty and cheap (you pay in Cuban pesos).
While you should at least try some dinner. As you wonder what it will ask to eat fish, shrimp, squid and even if prohibited, crawfish. However, while delicious and satisfying, do not just dine in the homes but try the various options that we reserve the island as stalls selling sandwiches in all ways, the delicious pizzerias and cafes.
Below is a list of the houses where I was, are all great places with people very kind and courteous, you can stay in them but surely the other will offer the same quality. Remember to always haggle on the price, 20 CUC per room (2 beds) is an acceptable price for both you and for them and for dinner 5 or 6 CUC is the minimum that you can get, try it forever. You can have your book directly from home or staying where you do it, than go directly to yourself and if it he'll be too busy to head to another party.
of any information you need to ask your landlord, you will always respond.
