Casa Yazmin, from 20 CUC per day: all new, clean, with terrace
Bed for ♥ ♥ in the apartment
Casa for rent in the upper floor
For the demanding guest
This entire apartment, with independent entry, kitchen, terrace has been refurbished in 2013 and is
currently considered to be one of the best in Holguin, Cuba. A safe and quiet (not a main street)
place to stay. Recommended by experienced Cuba travellers, rents start from
20 CUC per day
In the first days of April. Due to the anniversary of the Union of the Young Communists
(UJC) there are open air concerts in the city parks. This video of David Blanco was taken on
such occasion:
I have stayed at Yazmin in April 2013 and was astonished how clean, quiet and
modern this apartment was. No cheap carpentry, attention to detail everywhere and even
the towels were of much higher quality then you get in other casas in Cuba.
I was missing a phone, but even then: this is an excellent value for money.
Count on me, Yazmin, I'll be back.

On this day back in 2011 Mike and I were once again at the Sirenis Playa Turquesa (now the Playa Blanca) only, this time in 2011 we would be joined there by my penpal of now 60 years and her late husband.
This shot was taken four days into our vacation at the resort early in the morning with my Canon EOS 7D and the Sigma 18-200.
Today, Cuba is facing shortages of electricity, fuel and basic necessities including food, water, and medicine, which can also affect resorts.
Canada's major airlines have all suspended service to Cuba, with Air Transat announcing Monday evening it was joining Air Canada and WestJet in cancelling all flights, as the Caribbean island's major airport warns it will run out of jet fuel.
All three airlines said they had plans to bring travellers home to Canada.Our neighbour was set to fly to Cuba in two weeks time and were notified yesterday that their flight had been cancelled.
I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.
Pictetia sulcata, endemic to Cuba and Hispaniola, growing in seasonally dry tropical woodlands adjacent to the Frank Pais International Airport, Holguin, Holguin Province, Cuba. Coordinates: 20.786449. -76.304398, 100 m elevation. Photographed on 13 July 1985 by Matt Lavin (specimen voucher at MO Herbarium under Alwyn H. Gentry 51037). Pictetia species are endemic to the Greater Antilles and are most abundant on the big islands where disturbance is somewhat regular. The shrubby growth form of this species comprises one to several wand-like main stems, which is a common growth habit of Pictetia species. Pictetia sulcata flowers have the expected bilateral papilionoid symmetry of the subfamily Papilionoideae. Leaves are clustered on short shoots each from the axil of a pair of short spiny stipules, the petiole averages between 1-10 mm long, and the 1-9 leaflets per leaf almost always arise from separate points along the leaf rachis (when more than two leaflets). Leaflets vary from linear lanceolate to orbicular and each terminates in a spiny mucro.
