CHASING ALVARO: A walk through Habana Vieja

Cuba is a confusing country with a complicated history and an uncertain future. That future has recently become even more uncertain, with President Trump’s announcement that he plans to issue new sanctions and travel restrictions for the small island nation.

It is also confusing because of the lip service that is paid by people who may or may not know the true nature of Cuba. Some say that Cubans are the friendliest people in the world. Others—usually those who have never been there—suggest that Cuba is dangerous.
