A Cuban from Miami has gone viral on TikTok with a video sharing his impressions of the Greek island of Santorini. In the video, we can see this man walking barefoot down a long staircase during one of the island's famous sunsets. However, it is his narrative and lexicon that have turned this video into a viral sensation among Cubans.
"If you want to laugh, look at the glamour. Barefoot, walking down the entire staircase of Santorini with glamour... I'm going barefoot," says the user @mcoomarito on TikTok, who can't help but compare this part of the world to Miami. "The more I travel, the more I love Cuba to Miami, the capital of the world," he says.
The video gets even funnier when the man points out that he is walking back quickly to catch his cruise, barefoot because he didn't choose the right footwear: "Everyone's walking because we missed the boat. If they're going to kick me out, let them do it through CiberCuba. All over Santorini barefoot because the Hermès sandals can't handle all these slippery rocks, so tell the owner of Hermès not to sell them so expensive and make them with better soles, because these soles are not made for this."
The Cuban's expectations of this destination did not match the reality he experienced: "Walking down Moa's hill. Look at this, I'm not coming back here. I like glamorous and shiny tourism, don't bring me here with a mule, or a horse. I went to Havana because I can't stand the countryside." "Who told you I have a farm to ride a mule?" he says at another moment in the video.
"Santorini is just two old rocks with two houses painted white. Don't fall for it like I did. I'm never coming back. This is the babalao's scam," concludes this Cuban.
This video has generated a large number of reactions and comments on TikTok, where it is causing a sensation with his travel experiences. "The best tour guide in all of Santorini is Cuban!!!", "Described Santorini like a true Cuban" or "I can't stop laughing," are some of the comments seen alongside the viral video.
