📣 Traveler notes

Cuba is a large Caribbean island featuring nine World Heritage Sites, notable beaches, colonial architecture, and a distinct cultural history. The country has maintained a communist government since the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and operates under a US embargo.

January 1: Triumph of the Revolution
January 2: Victory of the Armed Forces Day
Good Friday: Variable
May 1: Labour Day
July 25: Commemoration of the Assault of the Moncada Garrison
Though Cubans are generally friendly, avoid political discussions to maintain local comfort. Using Spanish and supporting private businesses (e.g., *casas particulares* or *paladares*) enhances cultural engagement.
