Sombrero Tour

Cocooned in a 1950's time-warp, Cuba projects a sureal mise-en-scène of old nineteen fifties classic car, a melting pot of crumbling architecture from colonial palaces to turn of the century villas standing next to pristine, high quality renovations. A relaxed pace of life evokes nostalgia for times gone by. The people portray a strong dignity and pride with a warm, curious and welcoming character.
