Cuba, Havana (map, info).
"It's thought that humans first cruised from South America to Cuba around 3500
BC. Primarily fishers and hunter-gatherers, these original inhabitants were
later joined by the agriculturalist Taino, a branch of the Arawak Indians.
Christopher Columbus sighted Cuba on 27 October 1492, and by 1514, Diego
Velázquez de Cuéllar had conquered the island for the Spanish crown and founded
seven settlements. When captured Taino chief and resistance fighter Hatuey was
condemned to die at the stake, he refused baptism, saying that he never wanted
to see another Spaniard again, not even in heaven." [--
