"HEMINGWAY" Tour

"HEMINGWAY" Tour

Ernest Hemingway, an American writer, has been in love with Cuba since his first visit in 1932, motivated first of all by marlin fishing. It was not until 1939, however, that Hemingway decided to move to the island and had his initial settlement in the Ambos Mundos Hotel in Old Havana. Today, this hotel preserves the room used by the writer as a small museum.

After deciding to stay, he found a property on the outskirts of the city ideal for writing, Finca Vigia, where he lived until 1960 when he returned to the U.S., a year before committing suicide.

Hemingway frequented the Bar-Restaurants La Bodeguita del Medio and El Floridita, he tasted in the Bodeguita the tasty mojito and in the Floridita the famous Daiquiri which was the writer's favourite drink, in the latter place there is a statue in his honour.
