Havana (La Habana, Spanish), national capital and chief port of Cuba. The city is the undisputed political, cultural, and economic center of the Cuban nation, and nearly 20 percent of the nation’s population resides there. Havana is situated on the northwestern coast of Cuba, along the Straits of Florida and adjacent to major international shipping lanes. It lies about 145 km (about 90 mi) south of Key West, Florida. The city's location at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico has been critical in its development as the largest and most important urban center in the West Indies.\n\nThe city surrounds the Bay of Havana in all directions. Although the bay is small—measuring no more than 5 km (3 mi) at its widest and deepest points—it is one of the safest harbors in the world. It is accessible by oceangoing vessels through a narrow (300-m/1000-ft) channel, the Canal del Puerto. This channel runs for more than 1 km (more than 0.6 mi) between the sea and the bay.\n\nHavana's climate is decidedly tropical, but temperatures remain moderate as a result of the city's coastal location and the breezes carried by the northeasterly trade winds. The average annual temperature stands at about 25° C (75° F), with the average in the warmest month, August, about 28° C (82° F) and the average in the coolest month, January, about 22° C (72° F). Even during times of weather extremes, temperatures rarely ever fall below 10° C (50° F), nor exceed 35° C (95° F). Precipitation in Havana is moderate, with an average of 1200 mm (50 in) falling annually. The rainy season runs from May to October, with the greatest precipitation falling in June. Hurricanes do occasionally affect Havana, but its location on the northwest side of the island reduces the full impact of the storms, which characteristically come from the south or east and lose strength as they move over land.\n\nHavana is one of the oldest cities founded by Europeans in the western hemisphere; the Spanish established the city in 1519. Its history spans three principal periods, each of which is clearly reflected in the urban landscape: the Spanish colonial (1519 to 1898), the American neocolonial (1898 to 1959), and the revolutionary (1960 to present). The colonial period, lasting nearly 400 years, gave Havana much of the Spanish colonial architecture that distinguishes it and led the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to designate the colonial core of the city, Old Havana, as a World Heritage Site in 1982.\n\nThe city's first settlement was constructed on the western edge of Havana Bay. The channel into Havana Bay is flanked by four imposing colonial forts constructed of coral-limestone. Two of these sit at the entrance to the channel: on the north the Castillo del Morro, which now houses a maritime museum, and on the south the Castillo de la Punta, which contains the Museum of Fortifications and Armaments and is also the site of the nightly canon-firing ceremony. Two other forts are sited on the channel: the massive Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabana on the north side, which now houses a museum of ceramic arts, and the Castillo de la Real Fuerza on the south side, which was undergoing restoration work in the late 1990s.\n\nThe original city focused on the central plaza, the Plaza de Armas. Focusing on a central plaza was a pattern of settlement typical of Spanish colonial cities, with important military, political, and religious buildings constructed within close proximity. The imposing colonial fort, Castillo de la Real Fuerza, lies adjacent to the plaza on the north. Other noteworthy landmarks are also built along the plaza, among them the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales, which served as the home of the colony's governors, then later as the presidential palace, the seat of the city's municipal government, and the city museum. The Palacio de Segundo Cabo, originally constructed as a colonial post office in 1772,

Well....cuba used to be the richest nation in the caribbean before castro took over.  Also, they were making major progress toward becoming an enlightened democracy.  That is a very attractive situation for a hispanic who wants to maintain their identity as a hispanic.  Unfortunately, it all went to hell when rich elites in cuba and the united states, in love with the evil of marxism, brought castro to power.  The working class in cuba, of course, resisted him and nearly won against overwhelming military odds.  Unfortunately, they lost and many of them were killed in a genocide.  Today, cuba is a hell hole.  Castro loots the economy for his personal wealth.  He sells the men into slavery to foriegn corporations from china and russia and sells the women into slavery as prostitutes.\n\nThey should have stayed in the US.

Go to Mexico and to the Cuban Embassy.  Try Canada if it is nearer.
