Cuba is a Caribbean island nation under communist rule. It has sugar-white beaches and is dotted with tobacco fields, which play a part in the production of the country's legendary cigars. The capital, Havana, is lined with pastel houses, 1950s-era cars and Spanish-colonial architecture in the 16th-century core, Old Havana. Salsa music plays in the dance clubs and cabaret shows are performed at the famed Tropicana.
The pre–Cuban Revolution Capitolio, the neoclassical former capitol building, watches over Old Havana along with the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, a star-shaped fort turned maritime museum. The Malecón boardwalk has bay views, while across the port are the powder-sand Playas del Este beaches. Outside the city center is Finca Vigía, the former home of writer Ernest Hemingway, now a museum. The southeastern town of Santiago de Cuba is rich in Afro-Cuban culture, and Trinidad, in the interior, is a colonial village paved with cobblestones. Varadero and Cayos de Cuba both feature posh seaside resorts, snorkeling and scuba diving.
