Su esplendor colonial puede palparse en La Habana Vieja, una visita totalmente inexcusable. Este barrio, Patrimonio de la Humanidad, es uno de los conjuntos urbanísticos mejor conservados de América y del mundo, dominado por plazas y fortalezas. Lo mejor es comenzar el recorrido en la plaza de Armas. Rodeándola, se encuentran los palacios de los Capitanes Generales (convertido en Museo de la Ciudad) y del Segundo Cabo, el Castillo de la Real Fuerza (actual Museo de Armas), el Templete y el Palacio de los Condes de Santovenia (convertido en hotel). El otro gran conjunto es la plaza de la Catedral, donde, aparte del templo, se encuentra el Palacio de los Marqueses de Aguas y las casas de Lombillo, del Marqués de Arcos y de Chacón.

  • Dance & Theater 28 Literature 29 Painting 31 Cinema & Television 32
    © Lonely Planet Publications Arts Dance & Theater 28 Literature 29 Painting 31 Cinema & Television 32 Arts Far from dampening Habana’s artistic heritage, the Cuban revolution actually strengthened it, ridding the city of insipid foreign commercial influences and putting in their place a vital network of art schools, museums, theater groups and writers unions. Indeed, Cuba is one of the few countries in the world where mass global culture has yet to penetrate and where being ‘famous’ is usually more to do with genuine talent than good looks, luck or the right agent. Despite the all-pervading influence of the Cuban government in the country’s vibrant cultural life, Habana’s art world remains surprisingly experimental and varied. Thanks to generous state subsidies over the past 50 years, traditional cultural genres such as Afro- Cuban dance and contemporary ballet have been enthusiastically revisited and revalued, resulting in the international success of leading Cuban dance troupes such as the Habana- based Conjunto Folklórico Nacional (p139 ) and the Ballet Nacional de Cuba. Much of Cuba’s best art is exhibited in apolitical genres such as pop art and opera, while more cutting-edge issues can be found in movies such as Fresa y Chocolate, a film that boldly questioned social mores and pushed homosexuality onto the public agenda. DANCE & THEATER Described by aficionados as ‘a vertical representation of a horizontal act,’ Cuban dancing is famous for its libidinous rhythms and sensuous moves. It comes as no surprise to discover that the country has produced some of the world’s most exciting dancers. With an innate musical rhythm at birth and the ability to replicate perfect salsa steps by the age of two or three, Cubans are natural performers who approach dance with a complete lack of self- consciousness – something that leaves most visitors from Europe or North America feeling as if they’ve got two left feet.
