Old Havana, Cuba

Business trips allow you to visit places you had on your wish list, but unfortunately not always with enough time to plan anything in advance or to enjoy them the way they deserve. This was the case with my first trip to Cuba. At least I got the chance to spend a day strolling through the narrow streets of Old Havana, to enjoy its food and to get a glimpse of what it is today, of what it could have been…
