There is an endearing landscape for many Cubans: that you can see from a train window. Although the train is regular service, although the trip delay and it is uncomfortable … From the window you can compose an interesting chronicle of the daily life of many people, although it will be necessarily an incomplete chronicle. The train arrival, for those living in some villages and small towns, is always an event. The curious and sensitive traveler will always find reasons to enjoy.
