Governor Diego Velázquez was so overawed by lush beauty of this fabulous part of Cuba that he decided to call it the Jardines del Rey (King’s Gardens) in honour of the Spanish monarch Ferdinand the Catholic. And this Spanish explorer could not have thought of a more suitable name for the chain of islands containing Cayo Coco, as they truly do reign supreme amongst the many stunning paradisiacal spots to be found on the spectacular island of Cuba, the largest of the Antilles.

Costa Rica se caracteriza por ser un país con un sentimiento muy arraigado a la religión. Muchas de sus costumbres y tradiciones tienen antecedentes en ella. Esto no excluye la libertad de culto, ya que en su territorio convive una gran diversidad de credos. Recientemente, en el 2012, las investigaciones de la Escuela de Estadística de la Universidad de Costa Rica demostraron que el 46% de la población sigue siendo católico.

Summer is here, and that means Sitges is in full swing for the season. Of the myriad little fishing-villages-turned-beach-resorts along Spain's Mediterranean coast, this is the one nearest and dearest to the heart of gay men and women across Europe and beyond.

As I travel around the Caribbean (and to some extent this is true in Latin America, too), I find nearly every island has some kind of homegrown hooch (often rum-based) that purports to be “medicinal” (and sometimes certainly tastes the part), often  including revitalizing, curative, and even aphrodisiac qualities.
