Cuba’s best yet (we think). People seem really friendly and the place
welcoming.
Food also rates higher than
Trinidad or Havana. We found this
awesome Mediterranean restaurant and on the menu was an actual real salad (with
dressing)! Our host (Ridel) is a cheerful
guy and has been very helpful from the start.
As soon as we arrived to his brand new casa (still building the rooftop
terrace and the bottom floor), he organized our day by booking a trip to the
tobacco fields. It seems that a
horseback ride through the tobacco fields is the main attraction of the town,
and it was worth it. We were given a
demo on rolling a cigar (whilst smoking one) and observed the coffee bean
preparation process surrounded by magnificent valley views. The whole trip took about 4 hours, after
which Gosia and Carmelito (the horse) became best friends.
Unsurprisingly, we are now sitting at a tapas
bar drinking pina coladas. Ahh…life is
tough in this part of the world.
Tonight, we are looking forward to dinner at the ‘best restaurant in town’, Ridel’s house. Sadly, we are leaving this place tomorrow morning, back to Havana for a couple of days before slowly making our way home stopping in LA.
