Guide to Cuba

by Steve Fallon

Described by Christopher Columbus as "the most beautiful land that human eyes have ever seen", Cuba is a jewel in the Caribbean. Its vibrant culture and outstanding natural beauty provide a welcome counterpoint to the more familiar turmoil of its recent history. This informative revised edition offers a sensitive appreciation of Cuban history from the days of Spanish colonization to independence, the dawn of the Castro era, and the 1994 raft exodus. It is also a personal and enthusiastic guide to the island, from advice on the best live salsa music and how to handle the black market, to finding Hemingway's watering holes.
