Tour description

Get to know the Historic Center of Havana -its most relevant streets, squares and churches- from the hand of a young Havanan, following the footsteps of the Basques in Cuba.

Do you know the relationship between El Templete de La Habana, the Plaza de la Catedral, the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales or the Convento de Belén, and the Basque community settled on the island during the colony? Come and I'll tell you while we walk through those places that you shouldn't miss if you want to get to know Old Havana.

Kaixo! Somos dos chicas de Euskal Herria que tuvimos la suerte de hacer el tour con Patricia. Lo hicimos el primer día, nada más llegar a la Habana y fue todo un acierto. Patricia nos hizo sentir como en casa. Fue muy amable y cercana y lo que aprendimos mediante ella muy muy interesante. Totalmente recomendable! Eskerrik asko Patricia!! Beste bat arte!

Esperientzia zoragarria izan da. Patriciak ikaragarrizko jakituria dauka, bai Habanako zein Kubako historiari buruz, bai Euskal Herriko historiari zein euskaldunek Habanan utzitako aztarnari buruz. Merece muchísimo la pena, tanto si es tu primera vez en La Habana, como si la conoces y tienes curiosidad sobre la huella vasca. Patricia es tremendamente sabia y supo hacer la visita muy dinámica e interesante.

El tour de la huella vasca nos encantó a toda la familia. Patricia sabe de historia, de arte y de Euskal Herria, y se nota. Aprendimos un montón de curiosidades y anécdotas eusko-cubanas y conocimos los lugares más emblemáticos de La Habana Vieja. Sin duda, se lo recomendaría a cualquier amig@. Milesker Patri!
