| Fusterlandia, Cuba |
Much of Cuba was a surprise but this I was waiting for and practically pushed my way off the bus to get to. Fusterlandia is the happily chaotic and colorful work of artist
Jose Fuster. We had a limited visit to this spot so I dashed around clicking my camera hoping to catch on camera what I might be missing in real life. Isn't this grand?! Not only is his entire property covered with ceramic tiles but it has spilled over into the neighboring houses and streets in every direction and everyone seemed to be in on the fun. Enjoy!
Cuba's answer to Gaudi: Renowned Cuban artist José Fuster uses his entire barrio of Jaimanitas on the outskirts of Havana as a canvas, decorating the walls, squares and 80 houses in ornate ceramics, mosaics and bold splashes of colour. The unique work of public art has transformed this modest sleepy suburb into a dreamlike streetscape, unlike anything else in the world

How strange.
Strange but appealing too!
Yep! And he has taken over the village and attracts busloads of visitors. Maybe I should try it.
I agree.
Awesome! Love his imagination.
Yes, I found it to be a mind-blowing experience during my visit, too.
Maybe even cooler than Watts Towers
