Varadero, Beaches west of Calle 20

Varadero , Beaches west of Calle 20.

Varadero Island is Cuba's largest and fastest developing resort. Separated by partially man made canal from the rest of mainland of Cuba Island. This 23 kilometers long island offers many beautiful beaches and shallow waters to be enjoyed by visitors.

To Pablo...
If you read my comments under Havana - Part 2 you would notice that I wrote the following commentary: Our hearts sunk many times.

We had SILENT conversations with the passing locals. I could read their eyes and faces.

In some situations I did not take any more pictures because my clicking camera sound would be too offensive to their miserable living conditions.

I know how people of Cuba leave and how they are treated by own governement!

I assumed that you did not read my comments or... are your a "provocator"??

Answer to Pablo!
Pablo you wrote and left following comments: ... Its beautiful, its just a shame that people like you tend to be so ignorant as to not notice that the people living there are not able to enjoy this beautiful beach like you did. They kick them out.Did you ever ask yourself why there were'nt that many citizens in the beach?? Pablo, February 26th, 2003 ....Pablo, thank you for your comments. As the matter of fact I wrote about this subject ..."living condition" ...of an average person of Cuba! I would like to invite you to visit and read my comments on these matters in photo albums from Havana...Well...if you carefully read my commentary you would learn that Varadero is a closed island to Cubans. Please, take effort and read...Again thank you for your comments....Rafal K. Komierowski

PS..I copied your comments because some people like you don't have enough courage to leave your last name as well tend to remove original note.
