Riddled with cliches, many of them true, Havana is like no other city in the Caribbean - or in the world. Living with the effects of an embargo dating back nearly 50 years, it is constantly trying to move into the 21st century while proudly embracing its past.

Even if this proves to be merely a temporary measure, this latest setback is a reminder that Havana could be about to change forever.
