English version Hello community of travellers. On this occasion I invite you to take a tour of one of the most interesting museums in the Cuban capital, the Napoleonic Museum, a building located in the Vedado neighbourhood at the intersection of San Miguel and Ronda streets. It is a place that treasures items that belonged to the distinguished French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. At first one wonders: Napoleon Bonaparte in Cuba? As it turns out, no, he never had any links with the island, so how did his possessions get to Cuba? Well, the pieces on display here come from various sources, essentially from the agricultural engineer Julio Lobo, who was one of the richest men in Cuba and a fanatic of Napoleon to such an extent that he had specialists whose job it was to determine the authenticity of the emperor's belongings that came into his hands. Other influential members of the collection were Orestes de Ferrara, colonel of the Liberator Army, diplomat and journalist who was also the first inhabitant of the building; and Dr. Francesco Antommarchi, who was the emperor's family doctor. The museum contains 7,400 personal objects, weapons and works of art connected with the French emperor, and was founded on 1 December 1961. It is considered by many to be the most extensive and varied public display of Napoleonic-era artefacts in existence today. The eclectic style building of the Napoleonic Museum, which was built as a commission from Ferrara, is characterised by its design inspired by the Renaissance palaces of Florence, as its owner was Italian.

Hello friends, lovers of shadows and light lovers. This is my first time in this interesting community. Some time ago I visited the Museo Memorial de la Denuncia, located in Havana, a facility where pieces referring to the terrorist events that have occurred in Cuba are exhibited. I was very struck by a performance consisting of a grouping of toys from the 1960s that are arranged in such a way that when they are receive the light they project a series of leftovers that, as a whole, take the shape of the Cuban archipelago. In this work, the toys represent the children who were victims of Operation Peter Pan, and the shadow represents the psychological damage represents the psychological damage to the children. Because of the relationship with the shadows I thought: what better place than here to share it. I hope you like it.

English version Hello dear community of travellers. On this occasion I invite you to take a tour of the interesting Museo del Ferrocarril de Cuba in Havana. It is located near the intersection of the streets Cristina and Arroyo Avenue (Manglar), this museum constituted the old railway station ''Cristina'', name that was given in honour to the governor Doña María Cristina de Borbón, regent of the kingdom of Spain. This building was the main station of the Empresa de Ferrocarriles del Oeste, a company founded in 1859 by the wealthy Pedroso family. In 1912, passenger operations were terminated due to the inauguration of the Central Railway Station; as a result, Cristina was used as a depot to store disused traction equipment. In 1980, work began on the restoration of Cristina until 19 November 2002, when it was inaugurated as the Cuban Railway Museum, declared a National Monument. In this museum we can learn about the history of the Cuban railway and contemplate a variety of locomotives, tools and equipment of the Cuban railway system throughout history. Part of the building is currently being restored.

English Version Hello dear community of travellers! This time I present to you my experience in one of the emblematic corners of Havana. It is the Finca Vigía, which was for about 20 years the home of the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway. It is located about 15 km SE of the centre of the capital, in the neighbourhood of San Francisco de Paula, in the municipality of San Miguel del Padrón. Cuba was like a second homeland for the writer since 1928, when he made his first trip to the island and fell in love with it forever. The idea of living in this place came from his third wife Martha Gellhorn, who tired of the itinerant life in hotel rooms decided to respond to a classified ad about the sale of: ''Property in ruins in San Francisco de Paula'', moving to it in 1940, but it was his fourth wife, Mary Welsh, who was in charge of conditioning the estate until 1960 when Mary and Ernest left the island after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Finca Vigia was built in 1886 by the Spanish architect Miguel Pascual Baguer as a Spanish army lookout post, hence its name, as it is located on a hill about 100 m above sea level, from where you can have a panoramic view of the city. It has almost four hectares of exuberant tropical vegetation, making it a small ecological reserve. After a brief history, we start our tour. I hope you like it.At the entrance we find a sentry box where some custodians allow us access and welcome us to the property. Afterwards, we walk about 100 m along an asphalted road guarded by abundant vegetation that leads us directly to a building where we compare our entrance ticket with a value of 15 CUP (0.04 USD). The road that leads to the Finca Vigía properties.
