TRAVELOGUE
A TRAVEL BACK IN TIME
A CUBAN SOJOURN
Ar. Chitra Nair
El Capitalio
Cuba, that little island in the Caribbean, romanticised
beyond measure, the land famed for the ‘Revolution’, Fidel
Castro, Che Guevara, Ernest Hemingway, cigars, music,
symbol of defiance against the mighty Capitalists....These
were the images etched in our minds when we thought of
travelling to Cuba and yet we knew that those images were
as jaded as the famous ‘Revolution’.
We were a small group of architects and traveller friends on a
curated tour, to Mexico and Cuba, by World Architecture Travel
(WAT). After completing a sumptuous and overwhelming Mexican tour, we flew down to Havana, for our Cuban Sojourn
without an inkling as to what to expect, though nothing could
have prepared us for the experience awaiting us.
