Market Friday: street markets of Cuba
Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!
Today, I am very happy to come up with my very first contribution to the #MarketFriday photo initiative by @dswigle.
To be honest with you, I don´t actually frequent markets as they are often crowded with people (I really value my peace and quiet :D) but I still found some shots in my photo archive that, hopefully, qualify for this tag so let me share these with you.
All of the featured photos were taken by me in the Cuban cities of Havana and Vinales. If you like traditional souvenirs and handicrafts of all kinds, Cuba is definitely a place to visit ;)
Have a wonderful Friday everyone and if you have some interesting market-related photos, go ahead and submit them in the #MarketFriday tag by @dswigle. Thanks for hosting it Denise! :)
Well you may not like markets, but I would say that you put out a fairly Nice Market, and in Cuba! Every American has never been is trying to get there before it gets too westernized. Half of the charm of Cuba is in the fact that it is like stepping out of 1950. Pleasantville if you will.
I find the people of Cuba to be humble and very nice people he'll take the shirt off their back. Before it became a huge vacationland for tourists, their artwork showed up in some of the most bizarre places and it was kind of fun to seek out some of these secret Little Gems. I hope you have a most wonderful time and I want to thank you for submitting this to #MarketFriday.
There are enough pictures to give One a sense of what Cuba is like, especially in little shop that has the artwork hanging on the outside of the building. But handicrafts are often homemade and sometimes on The Rustic side. But that's exactly what I'm looking for. Something homemade not machine made. I can buy that anywhere.
It is a wonderful post and I appreciate you taking the time and effort going through your photos to see what you can submit.
Upped and steemed

Aww, thank you so much Denise! I had fun making this entry, will surely join again in some of your future Market Fridays :) And yeah, Cuba still looks like one giant open-air museum. It sometimes felt very strange there, especially for us, Czech people with similar, communist history...
Great post @phortun. Having some awesome flashbacks... this sits on my coffee table!
Nice!! :) What is that box for actually? Cigars?
Close. The receipt from the cigars I bought in Havana!
Ah! Makes sense :) Anyway, the box looks very cool. I am now starting to regret I didn´t bring one too :D :(
There is so much I should have brought back. However, there was just so much room for the cigars, the box and my swollen liver and belly (;
Did you try the Santiago 11 yr rum? That's the big one I missed bringing back.
swollen liver and belly - hahaha :D
Nope, we didn´t try this one. Sounds like another reason for us to come back to Cuba :)
I don't know if being so far from this market is good or bad, as I would love to buy a lot of wooden products. I just love them and these products are wonderful. Nice job.
Thank you! I like wooden hand-made products too :)
We have a lot of wooden handmade products here but yours are very different, which makes me want to buy some :)
I like it, great post!!! Greetings Peter.
