Cuba will enter the imaginary one of the whole world thanks to Christophe Colomb, who describes thus in 1492 the largest island of the Caribbean: "I never saw of more beautiful country, of the sheets of palm tree so large that they are used as roof at the houses, on the beach, of the thousands of shells, a so limpid water and always the same dazing symphony of the songs of birds." Cuba remains this marvellous, rich island of landscapes to cut the breath, idyllic beaches and surprisingly fertile grounds. Mysterious and imperceptible, Cuba will be worked of hand of man during a tumultuous history and, if a ground can determine the character of people, in Cuba it is easy to think it. The plains which cover the major part of the territory will give kindness and heat so characteristic of the cuban people. The high mountains covered by an abundant tropical flora, refuge of the mambises and cimarrones, the black slaves who succeeded in escaping, have Façonné the rebellious character of the Cubans, that even which made it possible to its inhabitants to seize once and for all the destinies of the their island.
