Roaming picturesque old streets of Vinales, beautiful colonial town in rural Cuba

in #streetphotography6 years ago (edited)

Hey my Steemit friends and followers!

I hope you are all having a great Friday! :) I am here with another entry for the #streetphotography contest organized by @juliank and @photocontests.

I think I have already published a couple of photos from the lovely Cuban town of Vinales but this time around, I will be more specific as I will focus on the streets of this beautiful colonial town found in the Pinar del Rio Province in western Cuba.

The picturesque colonial architecture, laid-back atmosphere and beautiful natural surroundings of the Vinales National Park have been turning the town into one of Cuba´s most popular tourist sites.

Strolling through these old streets lined with the cute little colorful houses and talking to local friendly people while visiting their tobacco farms was a great experience.

Bonus fact: Almost all of the beautiful houses in Vinales can be rented (with the prices starting at just some 15 USD per house per night!) so if you decide to visit this charming town, make sure to spend at least one night there.

@phortun What a beautiful Pinar del Rio of the famous Cuba. It really is beautiful this small province, what culture and what color. Beautiful houses that can be rented. Is there a river nearby? Nothing else to see reflects that there is heat or the sun is very hot, but in the same way it looks very good and the camera helps a lot or is it the photographer? This photo surprised me to tell the truth, because we always imagine an ugly and gray Cuba because of its political origin, but with this photo it is reflected that one thing has nothing to do with the other. Beautiful Cuba

Yeah, Cuba is a beautiful country too, despite the political situation... You should visit it one day to see for yourself :)

@phortun I hope to know and appreciate the beauty of Cuba soon.

Beautiful pictures and lovely streets, would love to visit Cuba one day!

If I guess what "no parqueuo" means on the first photo. Would be no parking?

But the funny thing is ... they have a sign like this and there is no car around. Quite funny sign considering small amount of cars on Cuba?

Yeah, you are right :D There are not many cars in these rural areas but on the other hand, the traffic in Havana is crazy! The oldtimers look really cool (see my older posts with some photos of them) but the smell from the pipes is horrible, I felt like I couldnt breath :D Anyway, thanks for the comment and upvote!

ahhh those colors =) So beautiful!! Keep posting about Cuba =)

Thanks! I will :) Stay tuned for more :)

Pestrobarevná ulice ;-)

Amazing! I like the simplicity of those streets :)

Yeah, me too, simplicity is a common theme in Cuba :)
