History<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

The history of Cuba is divided into three stages that are extremely important: the colonial stage, the neo-colonial stage and, last but not least, the revolutionary stage, which corresponds to the criteria for the formation of Cubans as we know them today.<\/strong>
\nBut in spite of the many socio-political problems that Cubans have had to live through, today they are a people who are looking for ways to survive, a very heroic people, who are fighting every day to improve their standard of living, in spite of the many vicissitudes and obstacles they have to face, they are one of the most beautiful places in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the best thing is that it has managed to place itself at the top of the tourist options par excellence today, so that all the tour operators always have among their most attractive offers a visit to the beloved Cuba and one of the most popular destinations is Havana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Havana, formerly known as the City of Havana, is the current capital city of the Republic of Cuba and at the same time one of the fifteen Cuban provinces. Havana is the most populated city in Cuba and in the entire insular Caribbean, with a population of more than two million people.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Founded in the spring of 1514, further south, under the name of San Crist\u00f3bal de La Habana, Havana is the main center of the nation\u2019s political, economic, and socio-cultural life, hosting the offices of the government and the Cuban Communist Party, as well as the country\u2019s main cultural and scientific institutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

La Villa de San Crist\u00f3bal de La Habana<\/a>, was founded in the name of the King and Queen of Spain on November 16, 1519. Its name comes from the fusion of the name of the saint chosen as patron saint, San Crist\u00f3bal, and the name by which he was known in his first settlements: Havana<\/strong><\/p>\n

The current capital city -whose genesis is in the town of San Crist\u00f3bal de La Habana, settled for the third and definitive occasion next to the bay of Havana, and that in its excessive growth towards the west, south and east, other settlements were annexed between the XVI and XX centuries-, constitutes a great metropolitan urban nucleus. Some of the territories that integrate it had reached titles of city or villa: Marianao, Guanabacoa, Regla. Others were typified as towns, villages or hamlets, being united to the city by means of new localities called neighborhoods, distributions or communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n
