Hemingway's Cuba Guided Tour
Description
After picking you up at your hotel in Havana at 9 am, we'll visit Hemingway's Cuba, the American author who lived in the capital for more than two decades.
Firstly, we'll discover the Hemingway Marina, the biggest marina in all of Cuba, and Fusterlandia, a museum-house of colourful tiles which were designed by the artist José Fuster.
Then, we'll walk through Cojímar, a fishing village with protected coastal areas and the natural landscape of the Cojímar River Valley. We'll have a coffee and a Cuban rum at Las Terrazas, frequented by Hemingway's boat captain, Gregorio Fuentes.
In the coastal area of Cojímar, we'll also visit the roundabout where the sculpture of the writer Ernest Hemingway is located, made of metal collected by his fishing friends. This monument was visited by different celebrities such as Imperio Argentina, Libertad Lamarque, Jorge Negrete, Hugo del Carril and Lola Flores.
The last stops will be La Bodeguita del Medio and El Floridita, the writer's favourite bar and restaurant. Did you know that he used to meet his friends and acquaintances from Havana there?
Once the tour is over, we'll return to your hotel in Havana.
