Images of Rural Cuba - Pinar del Rio
by Andy / FarAndFurther-teamThe Pinar del Río province is in the western tip of the island of Cuba. It is a rural area which relies heavily on tobacco farming and is characterized by its' steep sided karst hills, mogotes, and beautiful green valleys. Here are some pictures I took when we visited Pinar del Rio in January 2007.
Oxen are still used for farm field work
Our friendly driver checking the coordinates
We had never seen a banana flower before...
A shop in Pinar del Rio - not much on offer...
Same goes for this cafeteria
But we bought some refreshing fruit juice from this vendor...
... and delicious fresh bananas from this gentleman
A perfect way to spend an afternoon
These little girls had just been performing in a school play
It is surprising to find a Freemasons' temple in
a small Cuban village
A lighthouse on Cayo Jutias
So so cool... Too bad the beach restaurant
at Cayo Jutias
had been swept away by a hurricane
... which also destroyed this forest
As always in Cuba, Fidel posters are everywhere
