CUBA CULTURE

Religion in Cuba

Technically a Roman Catholic majority, though the percentage drops precipitously for practicing Catholics. A variety of Afro-Cuban religions like Santeria and Abakua are widely practiced.

Social conventions in Cuba

While handshakes are used in more formal settings, in almost all other situations, the typical greeting in Cuba is one kiss on the right cheek. A handshake is the normal form of greeting. Cubans generally address each other as compañero, but visitors should use Señor or Señora.

Some Cubanshave two surnames after their Christian name; the first surname is the correct one to use. Normal courtesies should be observed when visiting someone’s home, and a small gift may be given if invited for a meal. Cuban men rarely wear shorts away from the beach. Visitors doing so are not frowned upon, but they may receive the odd sideways glance. Women should cover their legs and shoulders if visiting churches. Cuban women tend to dress up for evenings out. Cubans of all classes like to dress up (especially for evenings out) and tourists are often seen as underdressed as a result.

WEATHER AND CLIMATE

Best time to visit

Hot, sub-tropical climate all year. Most rain falls between May and October and the hurricane season officially runs from July to November, with most storms historically occurring in October and November. Humidity varies between 75% and 95%. Cooler months are January to April when the least rain falls.

Required clothing

Lightweight clothes most of the year; the high humidity makes it unwise to wear synthetics close to the skin. A light sweater is advisable even during the hottest months for installations with air consitioning. Light waterproofs are advisable all year round.
