Cuba- Photo's of the Real Guardalavaca

One of the many well looked after Automobiles you find in Cuba. The people are real ingenious at keeping them running and in such good condition. Something we definitely could learn from them. We, who tend to throw everything away after a few months or years simply because styles change or bigger models come out.


One of the many privately owned small business's in the area. This is a local Hair Dresser, she does a great hair cut, highly recommend. Off the city centre in Guardalavaca.

Local Fisherman mending his nets. He has his nets strung up between Sea Grape trees.


Showing some of the Housing in Guardalavaca. There is a Doctors Office for every 150 People in Cuba. We counted 3 Medical Clinics on this street alone. In the afternoon's the Doctor and Nurse go and do visits to the sick, elderly and provide both pre and post Natal Care. How many of us have home visits from our local GP?

These are some Photos of the Town of Guardalavaca . Which shows the vibrant colours and diverse lives of the ordinary people. You can see the zest for life in their faces. They open their homes to you, complete strangers and make you feel one of the family in no time.
