Cuba: Journey to the provincial heart

Lydia Bell sets out on a road trip, accompanied by her husband, assorted hitchhikers and a pig.


We are in the heart of Cuba, the middle of this long streak of island, and in search of the country's provincial face and a gentler pace than urban Havana. In a country where a vehicle is a precious commodity, hitchhiking is popular. In the mind-numbing heat, those waiting for a ride are found killing time in patches of shade.

Searching for the provincial heart of Cuba, we start in the northern peninsula of Varadero, two hours east of Havana. It has an endless and exquisite white-sand beach spotted with palms, and turquoise seas.
