Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cuba: The Loveliest Land That Human Eyes Have Ever Seen "All my men declare that there could be no land more beautiful. Now therefore, I am silent, for I realize that all I might say would be too little; let its merits be sung by those who have greater skill in language. "I assure Your Majesties that, in my belief, there can not be better lands under the sun." This is the impression which a visitor receives on first seeing the coast of Cuba, an impression that is confirmed and deepened as he passes through the country, seeing the cane and tobacco plantations, the sugarmills, farms, rivers, mountains, valleys, caves and coastal plains. A noted American writer, Julia Woodruff, in her book, My Winter in Cuba, said: "Go to Cuba... go, if you possibly can. Only a four days trip, or, at the most five". (But this was written in 1871; today, only a few hours separate you from its eternal verdure, and its charm.) "In Cuba the language, the architecture, the landscape, the flora, the customs, everything is new, strange suggestive. For us the life there becomes one continuous poem. You will live as in a country of enchantment, unable to tell which part of the vision is earthly and which belongs to the domain of the imagination..." The geographical position of Cuba is, strategically, the best in the world, especially in relation to America, being at the middle of the Western Continent, in the Caribbean Sea and at the entrance of the Gulf of Mexico. For this reason Cuba has always been called the "Key to the New World and the Fortress of the Indies." Among the Spanish-American Republics it is nearest to Europe and, together with Mexico, the nearest to the United States, in as much as it is only six hours by steamer, or one hour by airplane, from the coast of the United States. It is Always Springtime in Cuba Cuba´s delightful tropical climate is tempered by the sea breezes. During winter the mercury seldom falls below 60° while in summer it seldom reaches, and never passes, 90°: Havana is always pleasant; even in the warmest days of summer one can be comfortably cool in the shade, and no one has ever had sunstroke.
