A is for Autos in Havana

Classic automobiles are a highlight for most tourists visiting Cuba. Some of them look brand new, some worn down, and all seem to be full. In fact, one of the ways to get around Cuba is to wave your hand at passing cars until someone stops to pick you up. I would not recommend this for a tourist, unless your Spanish is very good, but it could be an option for some.These classic autos fill the streets of Havana, and, if you do not see them, you will hear them – honking and even an occasional backfire. The exhaust can also be intense.

Here are some of my favourite photos that I took of classic autos in Havana.

Even though I’m clueless about cars I loved seeing the classic ones everywhere in Havana. So photogenic

What a cool idiosyncrasy! Love classic autos and it looks like many of these are in great condition. Like taking a trip back through time.

  I did a few in black and white for the effect and it does look very retro. And some of them are truly amazing.
