Arrival to HAVANA

Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had become one of the
Caribbean's main centers for ship-building. Although it is today a sprawling metropolis of 2
million inhabitants, its old Centre retains an interesting mix of Baroque and neoclassical
monuments, and a homogeneous ensemble of private houses with arcades, balconies,
wrought-iron gates and internal courtyards, Transfer from the airport to the Hotel.
