The Viñales Valley, naturally beautiful.
Wow, January is almost over and this is my first post of the year. It's a bit late...but it's never too late to wish good things 😉 and I couldn't think of a better way to wish you all a 2026 full of health and wonderful things than by sharing part of this journey I took on the last day of 2025.
The images I bring you today were taken on the trip back from my mother's house to my aunt's house, where our whole family would gather to welcome the New Year. We go there every year-end, except this time there would be a slight change of scenery for the celebration. Instead of having it at my mother's house, disconnected from the internet and in full contact with the lush nature of the area, we would go to the city of Pinar del Río to make it easier for everyone to get to the meeting point.
To travel to and from my mother's house to the city of Pinar del Río, there is a shorter route, but its poor condition made us take an alternative route for the return. This one runs near the north coast of the Pinar del Río province, crossing part of the Cordillera del Rosario up to Viñales.
It's about 50 kilometers full of beautiful mountains and valleys. The vegetation is always green and the climate is pleasant and cool. The road isn't in great shape either, but compared to the other one, it's wonderful...imagine the other one 😜.
The views of the Viñales Valley from the viewpoint of the "Los Jazmines" hotel are an unmissable spectacle. No one who visits this town leaves without taking a few photographs of this vast landscape.
The morning was a bit cloudy, so the light wasn't what I would have preferred for these images, but even so, the landscape is sublime.
I have always found something special in this landscape, I can't describe in words what it is. I know for sure that if I ever go far away, I will miss being able to gaze to the farthest point and breathe the air that blows here.
I hope that through these simple photographs you can feel the magnificence of this green and wonderful landscape. Happy 2026!!
Español - El valle de Viñales, naturalmente hermoso
Wow casi acaba Enero y esta es mi primera publicación del año. Es un poco tarde...aunque nunca es tarde para desear buenas cosas 😉 y no vi mejor manera de desearles un 2026 con mucha salud para todos y muchas cosas lindas, que compartiendo parte de este viaje que hice el último día del 2025.
Las imágenes que les traigo hoy fueron tomadas en el viaje de regreso desde la casa de mi madre hacia la casa de una tía donde nos reuniríamos toda la familia a recibir el Año Nuevo. Allá fuimos como todos los fines de año, excepto que esta vez habría un ligero cambio de escenario para la celebración. En lugar de hacerlo en casa de mi madre, desconectados de internet y en pleno contacto con la exuberante naturaleza de la zona, iríamos para la ciudad de Pinar del Río para que le fuera mas fácil a todos llegar hasta el punto de encuentro.
Para viajar hacia y desde la casa de mi madre a la ciudad de Pinar del Río, existe una vía más corta, pero su mal estado nos hizo tomar una vía alternativa para el regreso. Esta discurre cerca de la costa norte de la provincia de Pinar del Río, atravezando parte de la Cordillera del Rosario hasta Viñales.
Son aproximadamente unos 50 kilómetros llenos de montañas y valles hermosos. La vegetación es siempre verde y el clima agradable y fresco. La carretera tampoco está muy buena, pero comparada con la otra es una maravilla...imaginen la otra 😜.
Las vistas del Valle de Viñales desde el mirador del hotel "Los jazmines" es un espectáculo imperdible. Nadie que visite este pueblo se va sin tomar unas fotografías de este vasto paraje.
La mañana estaba un poco nublada, así que la luz no era la que hubiese preferido para estas imágenes, pero aun así el paisaje es sublime.
Siempre he encontrado algo especial en este paisaje, no puedo describir con palabras que es. Sé con certeza que si algún día me voy lejos, extrañaré llevar mi mirada hasta el punto más lejano y respirar el aire que aquí sopla.
Ojalá y a través de estas simples fotografías puedan sentir la magnificencia de este paisaje verde y maravilloso. ¡¡Feliz 2026!!

What a refreshing post to accompany my weekend breakfast! Hope you had a good break away from hive!
This route it's really very charming ❤️❤️😍 what wonderful landscapes ❤️❤️
It's never too late to wish for good things, certainly not too late to see beautiful scenery and enjoy nature views like these. They convey a lot of peace to me but it is true that they have magic and the clouds create a mysterious atmosphere in certain places. It doesn't matter that it was a cloudy day, the important thing is to be there in the present time and that you enjoyed this beauty.
Although those pictures were taken before the end of the year, they are a good omen for 2026 and I am sure of that. Have a great year and I love to see you here again. Big hug!🤗

Happy 2026, even with a small delay :)
Amanda, buenos días. Detecto en la frase: "si algún día me voy lejos..." un premonitorio partir, ¡y de lo que me alegro!... De cualquier manera, como todo está en constante cambio y evolución (pensemos así), siempre podrás regresar a pasar un rato entre las montañas.
Un abrazo lleno de flores. 😅
