Guest Blog Post: How 8 days in Cuba felt like 8 years

I mean, no disrespect to Ernesto Lecuona, Chano Pozo and the other world famous Cuban artists from the first half of the 20th century but, albeit in a polarizing manner, Fidel Castro took Cuba’s brand name on the global stage to a ubiquitous realm.
It was this strange mystique that had always pulled me to our somewhat taciturn Caribbean cousin to the north.
Chasing Murals: Guadeloupe

Enough of my ramblings tough. See for yourself why these French isles are the best in the Caribbean to Chase Murals.
