Madrileños por el Mundo: La Habana (Cuba)
Descubre más destinos maravillosos en
Tras 50 años de bloqueo de Estados Unidos y gran parte del mundo occidental, Cuba espera un tiempo de apertura que sus habitantes acogen con la esperanza de un futuro mejor. Visitamos el mayor país caribeño en un momento histórico, con madrileños que nos guían por lo más destacado de La Habana, una ciudad detenida en el tiempo.
José Carlos vive a caballo entre Madrid y La Habana. Mientras paseamos por el majestuoso Paseo del Prado, recordamos el brillante pasado de la ciudad a mitad del siglo XX. Nos montamos en un mítico Ford de 1957 para descubrir edificios emblemáticos como el Capitolio o la Lonja del Comercio. Visitamos Partagás, el más turístico punto de venta de tabaco, y la fábrica de puros La Corona, donde comprobamos que la elaboración de los prestigiosos habanos sigue siendo completamente artesanal.
De ahí nos vamos a la gran Plaza de la Revolución, un lugar mítico de la historia reciente cubana y epicentro de grandes celebraciones. En el barrio de Jaimanitas apreciamos el arte gaudiano de José Fuster, uno de los creadores cubanos más reconocidos internacionalmente. Y en el Hotel Nacional recordamos el desenfreno de los cincuenta en la galería de los famosos: realeza, burguesía, actores, mafiosos... todos se reunían en torno a un trago de ron y el humo de un habano.
Juanjo trabaja para la cadena Meliá Hoteles, una de las más de 200 empresas españolas que operan en la isla, y que deben asociarse con el Estado para poder instalarse. Paseamos por la Habana Vieja disfrutando del auténtico sabor de la vida en la calle. Y por contraste, nos trasladamos a La Marina, una de las áreas más exclusivas de la ciudad.
Tomamos un ferry con Juan Pablo desde la Habana Vieja para conocer algunos municipios de la bahía como Casablanca, y visitamos un museo al aire libre dedicado a la crisis de los misiles de 1962. De vuelta al corazón de la ciudad, paseamos por la principal arteria, la calle Obispo, y visitamos el curioso Museo Maqueta y el Acuario, donde nos hablan del manjuarí, un pez de agua dulce de la época prehistórica. Por último, visitamos el restaurante El Laurel, uno de los paladares más antiguos de Cuba, casas particulares dedicadas a la hostelería desde hace unos veinte años.
Roberto, que con 24 años se convirtió en el director de sucursal bancaria más joven de España, decidió instalarse en La Habana para dedicarse a la exportación de productos cubanos. Descubrimos la plaza de la Catedral, territorio de santeras, y visitamos la mítica Bodeguita del Medio, el local más conocido de la ciudad. Conocemos la iglesia de San Lázaro y conocemos el gran secreto de nuestro madrileño: es sacerdote babalawo, condición que convierte su casa en lugar sagrado. Por último nos espera Varadero (a unos 135 km. de La Habana), con sus 18 km. de playas de agua cristalina, y principal destino turístico de ocio del país.

GUATEMALA Travel 2023 | Beautiful Destinations | What to see?
As my Digital Nomad experience in beautiful Guatemala comes to an end, I decided to put together a video highlighting the best moments I had there.
Goodbye, Guate! Gracias for this awesome time! I hope to come back soon!
And one quick message, I've been traveling non-stop everywhere around the world and one thing that always concerns me is travel insurance. A few weeks ago I decided to get Safety Wing insurance and it seems like a great option for digital nomads and travelers. And the best thing is that is pretty affordable (around USD 40/ month). If you wanna check and decide to get travel insurance, please consider using my link below. This way you will be getting a great deal and also contributing to this channel! =)

Entry from: Flores, Guatemala
Entry Title: Parque Nueva Juventud - Some Background
Entry:
I have spent the past month as a volunteer with Volunteer El Peten, this is some background The Eco Parque Nueva Juventud is set a half hour hike from the centre of San Andreas. On my first visit to the park, a fellow volunteer offered directions Walk until you feel you have walked too far and then walk for another 5 minutes, you cannot miss it. The hike is along a dusty biege road and it is hot going. That said, everything here in Peten is hot going, the temperature is high and the humidity higher. Within five minutes of leaving my house I am actively glistening and within an hour of beginning work in the park my clothes are saturated from head to toe. I cannot believe the extent that I have sweated this past month, I knew in theory I was 70% water, but I would never believed my body capable of producing so much fluid on a daily basis. The combination of heat and work, build in me an intense and constant appetite, I have heard that the heat is actually suppose4d to suppress your hunger, but I do not believe a word of these old wives tales. Instead my hunger is sated by the frequent montains of food that my host family provide for me, regular as clockwork, three times a day. As with Xela, the food here is simple, and the staples are frijoles, tortillas, plantainos, rice, eggs and suprisingly large quantities of meat. Occassionally my house family spring a suprise, to break the culinary rhythm, a suprise might comprise a local speciality such as buyos or tamilitos (local specialities.) Breakfast here is no different to any other meal of the day, and in a strange way I long for the monatonous rythm of muesli and granoli with cold milk. The park covers a substantial area of land and takes a substantial hike to explore. However as with all things conservation related, it could do with being bigger to prevent it from being an island of reemerging diversity surrounded by human settlement. The park is sited on partially cleared land, and the primary goal is reforestation to speed the process of succession and create a diverse environment where native hardwoods and animals can survive. Some of the older trees remain in the park, including those that, amusingly, were too tough to machete and when chain sawed produced wood of no practical value because it was too tough to manipulate and destyroyed the sawmills tools when cut. The older trees that do remain help to provide some shade and so create conditions in which young trees can thrive and worthless secondary growth is prevented. However conditions in all the park are not so fortutious and so a lot of work to machete the quick growing weeds and prepare land for the planting of tree species and other plant species such as bananos, plantanos, mushan, makel that can provide shade to protect the more vulnerable species that the project aims to reintroduce. Across the park also are planted various food plants such as oranges, ginger, pineapple, maize, sugar cane to provcide some kind of output from the park.
