I will let the people who actually went to Cuba answer, but remember that in Cuba there are 2 currencies CUC (convertible pesos) and CUP local pesos, the money used by locals). 1 CUC = 26 CUP. So 25 CUC = 25*26 CUP = 650 CUP I found very interesting this article on cuban money : https://whynotcuba.com/category/essentials/cuban-money/

Indeed. Minimum per nite is 100 € ? Anyone already experienced Casa Viola which is mentionned by Whynotcuba ?

Preparing a trip to Cuba around year, I read most of the articles published on various posts ot this forum and prepared for myself a synthesis which I publish below together with a certain number of questions. Thanks to Meteorb, Axiom2001, SolaceSoul, Alaska Bear, Handlebreck, Torogen, Sf Castro, Bilatin, Floridabob, Endlessdream and others from I copied and pasted extracts of their posts. If you have answers to the questions I raise, thanks to answer ! I found also an internet site which gives what seems to me valuable and updated information on gay Cuba (whynotcuba.com). Anyone knows this site ? (https://whynotcuba.com/category/insiders-tips/) Basic rules (obvious) No public sex, no porn and no obvious sollicitations. Keep secret what the boys are doing in private Prior to travelling, "interesting book to read is “Before Night Falls” by Reinaldo Arenas. It gives some insight into the Cuban Revolution and persecution that LGBT people faced in the 1960’s (forced labor camps). He also talks a lot about cruising and sex in Havana". Better to bring condoms and lube in sufficient quantity as it can be difficult to find locally Insurance : travelers from US are covered by insurance the price of which is included in the price of the ticket. What about visitors from Europe ? Change : at arrival at airport outside the airport on the right. Change USD or Euros into CUC. Rate is approximately 1 CUC = 1 USD. Are there ATMs which can be used with Visa card ? Is it more convenient than to change at airport ? Weather : in December, the weather is cooler and not as good for the beach but it seems very nice in January but can be chilly & windy and many of the guys return to their provinces. Since I plan to stay 10 days starting end of December, I wonder if I will see boys in La Havana ... lol Safety : all visitors consider that it is really safe to be in the streets, even late at night, respecting common sense rules. The largest danger might be car accidents. Internet : wifi in Cuba is very difficult. Buy wifi card to be used at wifi spots. Where can it be bought ? At airport ? Mobile internet seems to be available since very recently but how to get connected ? Gay sites : not very much used. Gayromeo is available. Grindr is blocked not because of Cuban government but because of US government. Better to meet guys at the bars or in the street, "but offline cruising can be time consuming and require patience, language skills, and most important, luck" Where to stay : (SolaceSoul) : "Get yourself an additional casa particular or arrange a room at a casa where the host doesn’t mind guests having Cuban “visitors” (check with the host in advance). You can also just wait until you get to Cuba and ask around — there are plenty of Cubans that are renting apartments and rooms as a side hustle, and many don’t mind if the foreigners have Cuban guests (with restrictions, usually they must present their ID and the name must be written in a book, by Cuban law). Cuban locals are restricted from visiting hotels. In addition (Meteorb) : "there are plenty of short time casa particulars nearby, 10 CUCs for one hour". "there are many sex motels around (actually just homes of local people). The guys all know at least a place to go. Anyone can recommend a specific AirBnB place or casa particular where I can stay and get visitors easily ? thanks to pm me. Gay places to visit : According to Whynotcuba : "There are a lot of places you can go to. If you want something more high end and expensive, I can recommend Cafe Cantante or Tablado (in the Gran Teatro de la Habana). It depends on the day of week, both of them its on Thursday. If you want to spend a bit less money you could go to Las Vegas. They have drag queen shows every day of the week. Drag queens are fun to talk to, some of them have the most masculine day jobs. There are a few private bars too, like XY (Thursdays there is a comedian there, lots of gay jokes), El Essencia and El Bar Pasillo. If you are really really low on funds go to the corner of Infanta and 23 close to Las Vegas. Saturdays and Sundays people go to Las Vegas. Gay jineteros (prostitutes) are called pingeros. There will be pingueros in Las Vegas. If you wanna go to a bar without being stalked by pingueros go to XY because you have to spend more money, and that’s expensive for someone looking for work. Go to Cafe Cantante, which has a 5 dollar entry fee. There you’ll meet professionals: lawyers, doctors, architects and the like". According to Meteorb : "malecon (avenida 23 & calle hospital), cafe Toki (calle 25 & Infanta), parque central are the top spots to cruise. Parque central in the day time, just sitting and watching young men passing by; Malecon & Cafe Toki at night (and after midnight)" According to SolaceSoul : "At night I went out to the usual spots - Las Vegas (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are when Imperio performs and the best nights), Karabali on Wednesday, Cafe Cantante on Saturday" + Cafe Cantante was really good as usual, it is probably the biggest gay party of the week. Lots of cute guys, a lot of transgender girls hang out there also" Gay night club Karabali on La Rampa only certains nights. Bilatin mentions there are drag shows and stripper shows. Are there really stripper shows ? Is it the only place in Havana with stripper shows ? Night Club ?? on Thursday nights near Parque Central close to the Inglaterra Hotel Beach : "When you go to Cuba, make sure to check out the sanddunes at Mi Cayito beach Saturday and Sundays are the best days to go. There is a trail that goes through the sanddunes, but you have to walk east a little ways from the main entrance to get to it". Mi Cayito in Boca Ciega has a gay flag next to the Cuban flag. It has about 10 km of beach. I also heard from someone that in Cayo Santa Maria a new hotel opened, just for gay tourism (from Whynotcuba). To go there : taxi (30 minute cab ride from Havana) or there is a cheaper option which is a tourist bus that leaves every hour from Parque Central in Old town. Just tell the driver that you want to go to Micayito and they will drop you off as close as they can get. It’s about a seven minute walk up the road to get to the entrance Restaurant : the following link can be useful https://cubaexplorer.com/best-of-cuba/restaurants Costs (feel free to comment or amend) : Taxi from airport : 25 CUC Taxi to beach Mi Cayito : 25 CUC - Bus : 5 CUC Cafe Cantante : 5 CUC Club Karabali : 2 CUC Las Vegas : All tables are reserved for people ordering bottle of alcohol (bottle of rum + 3 colas as mixers) : 25 CUC. Possible to pay 10 CUC as table fee (no bottle) + drinks to be paid. Service : average : 20/30 CUC. Can go down to 15 or even 10 and up to 40 and more (locals pay 5 to 20 CUC) . No discussion as in Brazil on what is going to be performed and for how much. Average monthly salary for Cuban is 25 CUC Casa Particular : 25/35 CUC per night Sex Motel : 5-10 CUC for an hour Bottled water : 1.5 CUC / 1.5 l Wificard : 2 CUC one hour After this work, I already feel more familiar with La Havana !

I guess you have read the topic started by Tartegogo called Columbia : full list of hot spots. There are many valuable and updated information there.

At least 3 performers were available on rentmen

Drew did great show with his buddies Steven Lee and Andy Sweet Victor Rom fisted his two buddies in particular hairy Julian Torres Max Adonis enjoyed being fucked on stage Some of the performers. Not many twinks there this year !!

Hustlaball Berlin 2019 was as hot as ever ! The award ceremony was boring as hell. A few nominees and award winners did not even show up. All sponsors of the event got a price (only for my fans, hunqz, ...). Pigboy Ruben and his movie company got 3 or 4 prices ... VIP scene was really hot with performers letting VIP cuddle or wank or finger or suck or even fuck them. Some pics Andy Star, the only Brazilian star, was very friendly while being fucked by Pigboy Ruben Tiny Armand Rizzo managed to have his partner s big dick all the way in Drew dixon won best bottom price. I loved his underwear in mesh showing his perfect butt

Open Mind is a private club meaning that you need to register to enter the place (show ID). You also need to get an invitation which is sent through mail. It is open from Thursday to Sunday each week, from 11 pm on, with a program which is available on the site. Some saturday, there are events earlier ie at 7 pm or even 3 pm(milk, fist). The internet site shows pictures of the place. There are many people around, including some younger guys. No much attitude. Hot place indeed

I do not think it is that different, considering it was a different day. When I say "a good third", I mean more than one third. I made the calculation on Sunday. I went with a nice Brazilian and we spent time together and chatted a lot. He introduced me to all the Brazilians who were present that day at that time (around 6 pm). They were 7 from the various cities I mention above. In the sauna, I counted less than 20 boys altogether, taking into account all the boys including of course the ones I did not fancy. From what I discussed, 3 were from Colombia, 3 from Romania, 3 from Africa (including Northern Africa and Egypt), one from Poland, one from Venezuela, ... thence the ratio I mentionned. Let us say there are approximately half of Brazilians in the sauna.

Altogether a good time in Barcelona this week end with good sessions in Thermas. Many nice boys. No pushy lads. Many Brasilians (from : Rio, Curitiba, Campo Grande, Sao Paulo, Cabo Frio). A good third of the boys in Thermas were from Brazil. Barcelona is certainly one of the best gay destinations in Europe. There are also many bars and cruising places. Open Mind is a wild place to visit. Not starting before midnight though, as usual. I had a glance at Bear factory which is supposed to gather bears and bear admirers, but I had a glance and did not see admirers.

Friday is stripper nite and saturday is gogo boy. Different stages of undressing and of interaction with customers, I guess

I did not do private dance there since I went there after a long time in Thermas. Just reported what I read on the site. Not sure where the lapdances take place nor the price which is supposed to be moderate according to site. Atmosphere of the bar is great and strippers cute but show is late as everything in Spain ...

Sorry to have missed you ! We should see each other next month. I met a guy from Chile, Daniel but I did not see this Gustavo who seems to be a must meet. Maybe today ... Enjoying boys and tapas.

We might see each other in Thermas on sunday afternoon. I leave Monday

Of course now that I am used to Brazilian standards, Thermas could be considered a bit disappointing yesterday night. Maybe 20 to 25 boys from around the world, including, which is rare, a local guy from Barcelona. Claimed to be bottom but did not really manage to bottom. Sucked well to compensate. 19 years old Seb from Colombia was my second choice. Nice face, silky skin but not bottoming. Good session altogether. A cute Romanian had just arrived and was going to sleep in the sauna to save money. Short smiling guy, accepting to be passive. It is the first time I hear a Romanian accepting to bottom ... Did not go with him though, but I might go with him if I go back to Thermas tonite. Most boys arrive around 4 pm and leave by 8 pm Went to BoysBarBcn in the same street as Thermas. Nice bar. Friday night is stripper nite. Good looking guys. Private lapdances available. It seems there is also an Ass Contest which might be fun

Main event will take place October 18 in Berlin. Anyone around ?

When are you in Barcelona ?

Thks. Never saw him in Rio.

Isaac currently advertising in Barcelona, claiming to be from Pointe 202 in Rio.

Even though it is some time i did no go with Ray, I always enjoyed a lot the time I spent with him. All the reviews on him are also very positive. He is a great kisser, among other skills. Enjoy indeed !

This is good for nurses sampling for blood ... but IMHO it is not sexy

I have no clue. Workout I guess, maybe not only. I do prefer him as he was before ! Naturally muscled. Cute. Sexy. Ray Cuyler is also another model who changed his look in recent months :

Luke Volta transformation Which version do you prefer ?

I should be around at that time. I will send you pm in advance
