Try the mouthwatering Cuban cuisine “ropa vieja”, a stewed shredded beef dish served with rice, black beans and sweet plantains. Sip on mojitos in the Cuban bar “La Bodeguita del Medio”in Havana, made famous by Ernest Hemingway.
In a place where there are more vintage American cars than people, almost every citizen is a remarkable salsa dancer, and music is a way of life, Cuba is a hotspot for travel. Check out one of its many beautiful beaches and the beautiful La Habana Vieja, a World Heritage site.
A symbol of great quality, no trip to Cuba isn’t complete without one of the country’s infamous cigars or a taste of one of the most popular drinks in the world, “Cuba Libre”. The name stems from the battle cry of the Cuba Liberation Army during the war of independence.
