As a favourite stop of ours with clients, we know the huge effort and sacrifice that Cuban clothing brand Clandestina has made over the years to establish itself in Cuba and worldwide. Zara ripping off their designs is decidedly not cool. So let's spread the word and make sure that everyone knows who the real designers are.

Hasta Google lo sabe! Gracias Roger Campoalegre por la idea!

Cubans love cinema, and what better place in Cuba to celebrate this art form than the annual film festival taking place 7-13 July in , in the eastern province of .

This gorgeous little coastal town has seen visitors grow every year, since the 'Festival International de Cine Pobre' - International Low Budget Film Festival- was began by famous Cuban director Humberto Solas in 2003. This year sees 26 countries competing for awards, named Lucias after the famous film Lucia filmed here in the 60s, as well as actions dedicated to cleaning and conserving Gibara’s coastal areas, and tons of music events to keep punters happy.

Gibara is sleepier the rest of the year but always great to visit. We can get you there.

Walking into a Ray Fernandez gig is like wandering into a World Music festival or a bar in any other part of the world. Cuban music can be heavy on the son and salsa and reggaton, but thankfully trovador singers like Ray, heavily influenced by Nashville in his current music, demonstrate the diversity of Cuban music - if you know where to look, or you have to show you where!

Some good news from Trump's new restrictions on AMERICANS coming to Cuba – American travelers CAN still come to Cuba under the category of ‘Support for the Cuban People’. The American treasury today announced the end of ‘People to People’ group travel, meaning the days of Americans travelling in groups on educational trips are over..for now. We think at In Cloud 9 that its way more fun to get under the skin of this place and ‘ ’, that’s what we specialise in. Of course, all non-Americans remain completely free to visit Cuba as they do and have been doing for decades.

Trump’s tightening of travel restrictions has you scratching your head with its complexity, rest assured that the team here are on top of the changes and if you are American and interested in travelling legally to , you can still do so with us. But we suggest you book now if you wish to come - as any future changes will be grandfathered in and it’s the best way to guarantee your visit. Cuba, a wonderful destination with welcoming people, needs you and deserves you. Come and see for yourself. Email [email protected] for more details.

Cuba is a fascinating, beautiful country with friendly Cubans who love receiving visitors. President Trump’s announcement last week of tighter measures around travel to Cuba is so far just that, NO new regulations have yet been issued.

Travel to Cuba for Americans is still allowed under the 12 categories of OFAC licence, including support for the Cuban people, and if and when new regulations come into place and the situation changes, we will ensure that you as a visitor will comply with those new regulations.

Booking a trip NOW ensures you can travel under the CURRENT regulations.

Classic cars and cocktails: Enjoying that classic Cuban combination this week were Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla, who made history as the first members of the British Royal Family to visit Cuba. They, like so many visitors to the island, delighted in the vintage cars, but in this case the classic cars and bikes on display for them were all British - Prince Charles drove himself in a 1953 MG. Within their busy 4 day trip, they also found time to learn the art of mojito making, and persuade Camilla of the merits of Cuban cuisine.
