In Trinidad, Havana and Santiago de Cuba, you can either just learn Spanish, or do a Spanish and Salsa course \u2013 which really is great fun, whether or not you\u2019ve ever done Salsa before!<\/p>\n<p>Cuba is an amazing country that has developed its own unique culture and way of life since its political exile in the 1950s. In some ways, time appears to have stood still, with amazingly well preserved 1950s American cars around nearly every corner, and no sign of the international fast food restaurants and brands that we all recognise. However, in other ways, the music and vibrant cafe culture that is so unique to Cuba bring the country very much into the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>Everywhere you go in Havana, you can hear music, conversation and laughter, and everyone in Cuba always seems to have a smile on their face! Study in Cuba and you will experience a truly unique and unforgettable Spanish course!<\/p>\n<p><em>Liz, UK<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I absolutely loved my stay in Cuba and I came back home a passionate enthusiast about the Cuban way of life and culture!
