Casahabana is different through its communication : Judith and Ramiro boast artistic careers, one having been a radio host and provincial-level Culture Ministry worker and the other Childrens' Theater workshop instructor. They are promoters of culture and enjoy chatting about Cuba's history and artistic and cultural activities; whatever subject the guests want. They offer tours, visits, guided by professional, cultural specialists to help guests learn the different artistic and intellectual attractions Cuba offers with passion, whether it's dance, music, visual arts, education, neighbourhoods with their beliefs and excursions; myths and even disappointments, projects with which hope rises, despite everything, the magic of getting up again and again. |
