Prepare your taste buds for a true festival of flavors! Cuban cuisine, with its Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences, is a delight for the senses. Enjoy "ropa vieja," a spicy beef stew, or "moros y cristianos," a tasty dish of rice and black beans. Don't miss the "lechón asado" (roast pork), an essential specialty during celebrations, and "tostones," delicious fried plantains. Each dish is an invitation to discover the culinary soul of Cuba. I recommend going to "paladares." These are private restaurants where authentic cuisine and warm hospitality come together perfectly. In Havana, be tempted by La Guarida, famous for its unique setting and refined cuisine, or Paladar Los Mercaderes, known for its creative dishes and friendly atmosphere. For a more relaxed experience, local markets like Mercado de San Rafael offer a multitude of Cuban delights to enjoy on the go. As for drinks, Cuba highlights tropical flavors. The Mojito with its refreshing mix of rum mint sugar lime is essential just like the classic Daiquiri.The Cuba Libre combining rum cola with a touch of lime is also highly appreciated.Rum enthusiasts can savor renowned brands
