Many beaches around the island have dive facilities, with qualified instructors, or take to the sea and try some sport fishing for marlin, tuna or sword fish.
SHOPPING
You can buy most things on your holidays to Cuba, especially if you talk to the local people. The best buys to bring home are hand rolled cigars at a fraction of the price found in the UK, Cuban rum, Che memorabilia, craftwork, handmade jewellery and Cuban music. The largest street market on the island is to be found in Havana, it is a daily market located in Habana Veija on Calle Tacon, here you can buy tourist t-shirts, paintings and hand made crafts.
NIGHTLIFE
The nightlife on Cuba holidays is something else. Cuba at night is almost a different place once it gets dark, when the hot slow day has passed by then the country really comes alive. Havana in particular becomes a vibrant tropical city with scores of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The country has historically produced some fine musicians and singers through the years and there is no shortage of live music available across the country. Nightclubs bang to the beat of traditional and contemporary salsa music. Eating out can be a great experience, try a paladare, located all over the country. A paladare is a normal family home that has been licensed by the state to offer tourists dinner, the experience can be very rewarding as you view a real house and have traditional Cuban food. There are also numerous restaurants offering good Cuban cuisine at various price ranges, the tourist hotels are obviously more expensive than the locally run establishments.
