Rare TLCOhio Posted December 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) From the Boston Globe newspaper travel section this weekend, they have this headline: "hot places for travel in 2016" with Cienfuegos, Cuba, being one of those top areas cited and suggested for doing an upcoming visit/vacation. Here are some of their story highlights on Cienfuegos: "As soon as the political doors were flung open at the end of 2014, Americans clamored to visit the previously-forbidden Communist island. It quickly topped every traveler’s must-visit list in 2015. It will get even more frenetic in 2016 with a recently announced increase in commercial air travel. Havana is the center of the frenzy, followed by the historic city of Trinidad. But Cienfuegos should be high on your list of Cuban cities to see. You can dine by the water, walk around the arty town square, or catch an up-and-coming singer at a quiet club. The once-moneyed yachting town feels like a relaxing, wealthy escape, circa 1957. Best time to go: November." Visited Havana and some other nearby areas in 2001, but Cienfuegos sounds good and interesting from this writer's profile.

It was great - can't wait to go back on a cruise one of these days. See my post on the Cruise Videos section of Cruise Critic for links to four videos of the Havana area. I still working on videos of the rest of the tour. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
