(Day 9  if you are following “SEE ALL OF CUBA in 10 DAYS” blog post)

I loved the architecture inside and out in this town. It is the only city in Cuba built and designed by the French. Sitting on the ocean only added to it’s beauty.

Teatro Thomas Terry Theatre
Toured an old theatre Teatro Thomas Terry Theatre, the interior decorating looked like it hadn’t been changed since the 1800’s. Simply stunning.

Inside the theater, beautiful gold leaf can still be seen. Carrara marble, hand-carved Cuban hardwoods and beautiful ceiling frescoes also remain untouched.

villa lagarto cienfuegos restaurant, cuba
I loved the atmosphere of this place. It overlooks the bay of Cienfuegos which is calm and protected from the sea. Such a quiet romantic place with water pools all around the inside of the restaurant. It is on the tip of a peninsula. The only thing further on the tip is the La Puenta beach.

Homeless dogs Cuba
Homeless dogs are everywhere in Cuba. I made this dog’s day by waking him up from a nap for his first taste of meat in a long time.
