Thanks Adria for the kind comments. Daytona does have a beautiful beach. I have been there twice but I have to agree with you... --it can't be compared to Varadero.

Cuba is truly una isla bonita
My mother and I have been very emotional seeing the beautiful pictures of Varadero that you share with us in your article. You are so fortunate to visit isla bonita, Cuba. My mother says that she might not have time to see Varadero again but I don't think so because we are sure to come back to it. We visit Daytona Beach and Clearwater beach here in Florida and we thought to have that clear water like Varadero but not so unique of course. We live in Miami and as Cubans like to thank you very much for sharing the beauty of Varadero with the world. May you visit Cuba on many occasions to come.

Nice pictures, but Varadero is far to be the real Cuba and I would rather look it as a golden prison - but that's a personal opinion... Did you have the occasion to visit more deeply this wonderful country and get acquainted with the locals ? Your way to take the pictures is great, I especially like the old car and the model.

Thank you for this presentation and showing Varadero. This place would become one of the safest places (on the world) for tourists after the terrorist attack in Bali. Looks like your vacation time there was quite relaxing with super sunny weather.
