Cuba, the hidden treasure

The following story is about my first journey outside Chile. It was in the hot summer of 1999, when I was a little child of six years. I remember that I was so excited to travel to Cuba, although I didn' t know anything about this interesting caribbeann island.
The trip's group was composed by my parents, my aunt and uncle and his son. We arrived to La Habana in the beginnings of February. The city was a perfect combination between  antique arquitecture and  awesome history. There, life developed itself in the street. The cuban people spent the day, eating, singing, talking in front of his houses. They're so kind and funny.
Also we visited important places of the revolutionary struggle that it was leaded by figures as Fidel Castro o Che Guevara. The Moncada barracks gave a shocking view with his bombarded walls. We went to the Bodeguita del Medio, a famous bar where Ernest Hemingway drank somes mojitos a couple of years before.
But Cuba isn't only politcs, also it had a wonderfull beachs with white sand and blue sea, especially to relax after a long walk day.
Cuba is difinitely a unforgetable experience for his culture and beauty.
