With the stepping down of Fidel Castro as the leader of Cuba, there has been a flood of public interest in this near forgotten haven in the West Indies. Haven do I hear you ask? Well it may be considered a time capsule of those rather forgotten colonial days of the Caribbean. There has been a stream of tourists there and they do comment on the pure beauty of its somewhat quaint, third world streets around atmosphere of days gone by. Many of the little rural towns and resorts have cobbled streets and 1 such place is known as Trinidad, which I should hasten to add has virtually no resemblance to the better known and overly touristy companion island of the West Indies.
A browse through the streets of this world Heritage site reveals a central square with avenues of palm trees, many adorned with traditional Spanish colonial mansions. And there you will find a rather wealthier one known as the Museo de Romantica, which, amongst many others of its collection of exquisite imported antiques, includes a highly impressive Murano glass chandelier, worth its weight in Havana cigars as the locals boast!
