La Ciudad de La Habana no es un ejemplo de pulcritud para los viajeros que la transitan. Muy lejos de ser una capital limpia, La’bana está llena de polvo, polución y basura.  Si tienes el hábito de echar tus desechos en un contenedor de la calle, te percatarás de que puedes caminar cuadras sin encontrar […]
