Property for sale in Cuba? Don't worry, you are not going mad, you really can buy and sell as well as rent properties all over Cuba. Since 2011 the ruling Junta has come to its senses and allowed owners to buy and sell properties, something that has been banned for decades.
The Cuban economy is in tatters, even though Russia has just wiped 90 million dollars of debt, decades of neglect and the American embargo has produced a sterile economy and now that Fidel Castro has handed over the running of the country to his brother Raul, some reforms have been made.
There are still mountains of red tape of course and if you want to buy a Cuban property you have to be a resident, although there are ways around that as well but if you do fancy a bit of Cuban real estate then check out one of our link partners websites, Havana Houses
Havana Houses are located, as the name would suggest, in Havana itself and they have a large portfolio of Havana properties for sale and rent, you can also contact them direct. Havana Houses have English, Spanish, Dutch and other languages so you will be understood, no matter what part of the world you come from.
To see how far you have travelled you really do need to look
back, that’s my philosophy, you may have a different idea. With this in mind I
found a really good set of photographs and a small story to accompany them on
the Al Jazeera.com website. The photographs are by Alison McCauley and they are
as beautiful as they are pathetic. Cuba Property
The photographs are of some of the most beautiful buildings
in Havana, Cuba, buildings that have been allowed to fall into complete ruins
but still are what some people actually called ‘Home’ Historical buildings such
as the Hotel Bristol in central Havana, left to go to ruin but still occupied
by former employees. I wonder what the people who stayed in this grand hotel in
the thirties and forties would think if they could see what has become of this
once beautiful Cuban lady?
The photographs also show the absolute insolvency of the
Castro led regime as far as providing homes for the Cuban people is concerned
and in maintaining some of the most beautiful and iconic buildings anywhere in
the Caribbean. Please take a look at the Al Jazeera Blog and the Alison
McCauley photograph’s and see for yourself the state of these Cuba buildings.
There is, however, hope: Castro and the regime has, since
2011, allowed the buying and selling of Cuban property and this is establishing
a Cuba property market, this in turn will drive the need to both build and
renovate properties all over Cuba, not just in Havana. Check out the latest
Cuban property on Havana Houses website.

Well, readers may be wondering where I've been as I have not posted for some time on this Blog. The truth is, I've been experimenting with Wordpress Blogs and Wix Blogs, for no other reason than to see how they work and how they show on the Internet search engines like Google and Yahoo!
Generally speaking, they are OK, nothing more than that, they are easy to use and look good but ranking them is a tad difficult unless you download all sorts of apps and things but I will persist and see what happens. Meanwhile, I shall return to this blog once more.

Views from Sea Haven Villa at Discovery Bay in Jamaica
Discovery Bay is a town in Saint Ann Parish on the
northern coast of Jamaica. The city is also known locally as Dry Harbour Bay,
because it sits in the shadow of the Dry Harbour Mountains in St. Ann. There is
a dispute as to whether Christopher Columbus first landed in Discovery Bay or Sevilla
la Nueva (east of Discovery Bay) in 1494. Near to the city are Puerto Seco
Beach and several historic sites, such as the Green Grotto Caves and Columbus
Park.
Visitors to the Green Grotto Caves can see relics of the native TaÃno Arawak
lifestyle there. It is said that many Spaniards escaped the English invasion of
1655 through secret passages in the caves with the help of Arawaks and African
slaves, in exchange for their freedom.
