The Derillous has some excellent suggestions.

Let me add a few comments, based on what works for me. I will preface it by saying I am in my 7th decade, fit, and I try to present a good appearance....

Will be making my third visit to Medellin. Going solo and staying in Poblado. Speak some Spanish, but will also be taking some lessons.

Happy to get together for a drink and to exchange stories.

This is an update based upon a 5 day visit to Havana in late April. I have visited there 10-15 times. I speak enough Spanish to get by, but am not fluent. I'm well into my sixth decade, but am in...

I rented what I thought was an...

Hi,

After a short visit to Holguin, I will be in Havana from March 31 to April 16. Happy to say Hello, and buy a Cristal for anyone else there. Please PM me.
