Travel Guide to Cuba

[NubeBlanca27]

I am looking for a Travel Guide to Cuba. If you have one, but don’t want to sell it, may I borrow your travel guide for planning purposes short-term before I leave? My trip starts end of November 2016.

How was your trip? I found it somewhat disappointing. One thing was a gross underestimation of the transportation costs and food choices. Gringos were not allowed on public transport either, which was the biggest issue I suppose.

Did you read this before you left? http://broughton.ca/bob-broughtons-blog-...de-to-cuba
The article addresses the subject of inter-city bus transportation, and yes, they don't want tourists on the Cuban buses, or Cubans on the tourist buses. As for local buses, I did manage to take a bus out to the Hemingway house, and it was not illegal to do so. (The bus was packed to the rafters, of course.) However, I also tried to take a bus to Artemisa one day, and, while such buses do exist, locating the place where the bus left from turned out to be impossible. (Habaneros are terrible at giving directions.)
