    Abandoned Houses as people left n 60s

    October 12, 2023 in Cuba ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Batista ruled b4 Castro. Made the rich richer and flirted with the mob in the US to obtain money to build massive hotels. The rich got richer, and the poor were neglected. Castro took over from Batista and put his foot down, clamping down on the rich he wanted to be a leader for the people, NOT for self gain. This did not suit the wealthy, so they abandoned houses and left Cuba with hate for Castro and his Socialist views. Squaters have taken over alot of this area. Beautiful Art Deco style houses left for ruin. Found an abandoned hotel on the waterfront and took advantage of the sea.Read more
