Alex,

You may well enjoy the pace of life there.

Even in cities such as Cienfuegos, a city of some 150,000, the predominant
form of public transport is still horse and carts.

I've never seen so many horses.

In country towns like Vinales in the west - where they grow the
cigar tobacco - everyone has a front verandah with rocking chairs.
Folk sit on their porch in the evenings, rock in their chairs, talk and
watch the world go by.

Now and then a real cowboy goes riding by and tips his hat.
