About Me

My photo
Leaving the British winter far behind, I'm blogging about my travels in the Cuban sunshine. The photos are a combined effort between my travel chum CDD and me. The words are all mine.

Street art, Havana style


Baseball is big in Cuba, and Industriales is one of Havana's two teams. We attempted to get to a game, it being the height of the season, but the only way to find out the schedule is to track down a man selling the Granma - the socialist daily paper - on the street somewhere, and look at the listings inside. Needless to say, the Granma sellers eluded us for some time, and when we did find one, Industriales had played all their matches that week. 


This one's by Brazilian graffiti artist Nina.  You have to catch the street art before the sea salt devours it in Havana!  Apparently there's a Banksy somewhere but I didn't manage to track it down.
