Cuba quarantines more than 40,000 tourists and restricts the movement of its citizens

Drastic turning point in Cuba. In view of the fact that a large part of the population continued to live their lives with little change despite the measures taken so far to confront the coronavirus -measures that appealed above all to self-control and individual conscience, without obligatory quarantines or prohibitions to go out into the streets-, the government announced this Monday a package of radical actions aimed at halting the spread of Covid-19 on the island.

Christmas in Cuba: celebrate a party that was banned

Christmas in Cuba: celebrate a party that was banned

We may think that Christmas holidays are currently unrelated to the religious holiday, however, we would be wrong. Elements such as stars, found in many decorations, angels or shepherds are closely related to the birth of the child Jesus. Therefore, it is normal that in many non-Christian countries the Christmas party is not celebrated, since for them on December 25 does not mean a relevant celebration in their calendars. However, there are also some countries which had celebrated the Christmas holiday, perhaps due to the colonization and immersion of religious beliefs in this area, but that over the years has been losing tradition.

Christmas in Cuba? Havana smells of roasted piglet and salsa can be heard from homes

Christmas in Cuba? Havana smells of roasted piglet and salsa can be heard from homes

Cuban Christmas Eve is a great fiesta in the rhythm of reggaeton and salsa instead of Christmas carols. The snow does not creak underfoot, no one is queuing for a carp or Christmas tree, and the smell of roasting pig hovers in the afternoon heat throughout Havana. Holidays and New Year's Eve in Cuba look completely different than ours. And yet you can find many similarities. It is primarily a family, warm atmosphere and joyful fun until dawn on New Year.
