Cuba is an island nation of sugar-white sand beaches and covered in tobacco fields, which play a key role in the production of the country's legendary cigars. The capital, Havana, is surrounded by pastel-colored houses, with cars from the 1950s and Spanish colonial architecture in the center, which dates back to the 16th century, Old Havana. In the dance clubs, salsa is heard and shows are performed in the famous Tropicana cabaret.
