Cuba

City: Havana

Havana, Cuba's capital suspended in time, is a feast for the senses where colonial grandeur elegantly crumbles. It is a city defined by the rhythm of salsa escaping from the windows, the roar of classic American cars, the aroma of tobacco and rum, and the unwavering energy of its people. From the majesty of Old Havana to the melancholy of the Malecón, it is an experience that captivates and transforms.

Tips for Gastronomy

Eat at 'Paladares'

These are private restaurants, often in people's homes. The quality, service and creativity far surpass state restaurants. They are the heart of the culinary scene.

Try the 'Ropa Vieja'

It is Cuba's national dish: shredded beef simmered in a tomato sauce. Delicious with rice and beans ('Moros y Cristianos').

The Mojitos from La Bodeguita, the Daiquiris from Floridita

Visit Hemingway's two most famous bars. La Bodeguita del Medio for the mojito and El Floridita for the daiquiri. They are touristy and expensive, but it is a rite of passage.
