Before going deeper into the origins of the Cuban hotel trade, we have to mention certain aspects of the Cuban history that characterized the opening of the first Cuba hotels. It was not until 1762, when Havana was taken by the English that the free trade with other countries started. The English left the island around the second half of 1763 in an exchange of lands with the Spaniards, who possessed Florida, but things would not change much for the rich Cuban people in the sense of trading with other nations.

Vigia Farm: Against Time and other Demons

<p style="text-align: justify;">Almost hidden, maybe fearful of the scratch of an untimely visitor, the Vigia Farm still surprises those that visit the home, found among exuberant pines, mangos and palm trees that shaded, for over two decades, US writer Ernest Hemingway.
