There was only one visit, which was in 2001. Things were in transition. There was decay and rebirth. Apparently the international community is responsible for the resurrection of Havana Viejo. Castro relied on foreign money to help rebuild the city. It was very safe for tourists, but if one looked behind the facade, there was still poverty.
