Holiday was an American travel magazine published from 1946 to 1977.

Originally published by the Curtis Publishing Company, Holiday’s circulation grew to more than one million subscribers at its height. The magazine employed writers such as Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Lawrence Durell, James Michener and E. B. White.

The magazine was relaunched as a bi-annual magazine in 2014, located in Paris, but written in English.

The Cuba Issue

At first glance, Cuba is an island like any other, an expanse of land surrounded by water, but it is actually a place like no other, with its unique history, people, beauty and scars. Since its mysteries and truths can only be grasped from the inside, the Cuban writers Leonardo Padura, Wendy Guerra and Karla Suárez have made their voices heard in this issue of Holiday, while the reporter Ed Augustin set out to encounter the Cuban people. Among the other articles are the story of the Buena Vista Social Club as told by an insider and an ode to Agnès Varda’s documentary Salut Les Cubains.
