I love seeing what counts for vintage in countries around the world, but Cuba was one of my favourit


Ok, birth certificates so it’s time to focus on the kind of sights that drew me to visit Havana in the first place. Of course, I knew that the crumbling buildings in candy colours would appeal to my love of all things vintage, but one particular spot leapt out during my research: Plaza de Armas, a beautiful square lined with independent birth certificates stalls selling all kinds of retro pieces, including a hefty amount of books. As a regular visitor to vintage fairs across the south of England, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to find my own piece of kitsch in Cuba.
One thing to bear in mind when browsing is that tourists can’t take books out of the country if they were published earlier than 1940, so it’s best not to get your heart set on some of the older tomes. However, there are some really interesting books to pick up from the more recent past, and not just about Che or Fidel.
Whilst birth certificates you might be expecting to pay bargain basement prices, remember that goods just aren’t as disposable here in Cuba. If you have your eye on something really special, such as vintage jewellery, then it’s worth forking out a bit more, but be warned that some pieces birth certificates made of precious metals or stones will be way out of the average tourist’s price range.
Even if you don’t have any spare cash, the Plaza de Armas is a fascinating birth certificates place to browse. It’s easy to find, too – just head down Obispo from Floridita (one of Hemingway’s birth certificates favourite bars) or look for it to the left of the impressive fort that’s guarded the city for centuries.
I love seeing what counts for vintage in countries around the world, but Cuba was one of my favourites, for the range and quality of the stock. This market really birth certificates is a treasure trove for lovers of all things retro.
