  The largest island in the Caribbean, Cuba is a beautiful country, its diverse landscape ranging from miles of sandy palm-fringed beaches to semi-tropical jungle, from desert to mountain forests. For years associated with Castro, communism and cigars, Cuba's often turbulent hisory, combined with the Caribbean sunshine and the hospitality of the Cuban people, offers the visitor a fascinating holiday destination. This guide introduces the reader to the island's history, people, culture, wildlife and economy and then focuses on the worthwhile sights and places of interest to visit. The user-friendly text contains travel tips, information panels, maps and suggested excursions to help the reader make the most of the time available.
