If you arrive in Cuba with dollars, how do you exchange them for CUC's? Can you do this at the airport? Is it possible to buy Euros in Cancun or Mexico City before transferring to Cuba?

Thanks,

Hi

I'm just planning to go to Cuba in the middle of November.

I' m looking for nice small villages with fine beaches to relax and snorkle.

Can anyone recommend some places?

[Americano573]

You are all correct the pictures are from Gibara the coastal town in Holguin and also from Baracoa argubaly the most beautiful place on the island with a couple Havana and Holguin photos thrown in for good measure

[Methos]

Image006 looks like Gibara to me. I saw that statue there unless there's another one just like it in Baracoa or somewhere else. Gibara is on the coast in Holguin province about an hour north of Holguin city.

[El Rey De Pollo]

Only few from Havana in there... I see some from Baracoa which was hurt badly. Were you in Baracoa or did you find these photos online?

Looks bad, man. Makes me feel awful.

I believe that this hurricane has been the most destructive in Cuba's history.

Hi Americano!

Thanks for the pics. I just want to know if these pics were taken in Havana or some other areas of Cuba.

Thanks

This looks familiar.

Are the pics from Baracoa?

I was just informed that that the news making the rounds right now is that the authorithies in Cuba are now placing the balme squarely at the feet of the US they are claiming that hurricane Ike and Gustav were both enginered (somehow) by the US in another attempt to hurt the islands economy and undermine its leaders. Tensions are runnuing high.
