Santa Clara, Remedios, Zulueta
Spending New Years in Cuba turned out to be one of the most memorable celebrations I have ever experienced. The Cubans know how to party! This trip to Cuba was purposely to get away from the influence of Havana and see some of the smaller towns, Santa Clara, Remedios and Zulueta, in the eastern part of Cuba. Our photography-based excursion, led by professionals from Santa Fe Photography Workshops, was filled with daily outings to off-the-beaten-track places, homes and villages. The New Year festivities culminated in a grand fireworks display put on by the inhabitants of the small town of Zulueta. I have never seen anything like it, nor will I ever forget it!
