The best way to decide where you will want
to settle in Cuba is to visit those areas
having activities that fit your particular
lifestyle. Consider the things you like
to do and then check out the towns, beaches
or cities which best suit your needs and
interests.
If you are accustomed to living in an urban
area offering a variety of cultural events,
entertainment and other stimulating activities,
then small towns or rural living is not
for you. You can eliminate living in a city
if you are the type of person who is easily
annoyed by traffic, noise, pollution and
other inconveniences usually associated
with urban living. One advantage to living
in a rural area or small town is that the
cost of living is lower.
Residing at an isolated resort may seem
attractive, but there is a downside. Beach
properties are usually an excellent investment
but prices can be high due to demand. Also,
most of the population is seasonal and you
may find it difficult to making long term
relationships. In non resort areas the population
fluctuates less thus making it easier for
enduring friendships. The "off season" can
be dull and boring for some people. However,
there are some people who relish the peace
and quiet.
Another factor in making your choice is
weather. In the tropics the low lands are
hot and higher elevations and mountains
areas are cooler: the higher you get the
lower the temperature and the lower you
go the hotter it gets. Living at the beach
is nice for a while but can get old when
one grows tired of the insects and humidity.
Isolated beaches can pose problems when
it comes to emergency medical care. So,
look for the climate that best agrees with
you.
