Cuba Travel Guide: Insider Tips from a Local

Discovering Havana’s Cultural Gems with Alejandra Glez

Photographer and performer Alejandra Glez has made a name for herself in digital video art. Her work is purely feminist, and she is currently one of the Cuban visual artists with the most influence internationally in her field from Cuba.

What Makes Havana Special?

For me, the most special aspect of Cuba is its people. The warmth and humanity of the Cuban community truly stand out, creating an inviting atmosphere for visitors and locals alike.

Dining in Havana: Best Breakfast

The best breakfast in Havana is undoubtedly at El Café. You can find great coffee anywhere in Cuba, but I highly recommend trying a cup for just two pesos from a street stand for an authentic experience.

Where to Enjoy the Best Cocktail?

The best cocktails in Havana are crafted by Wilson, a skilled bartender found at the restaurant El del Frente. His creations guarantee a delightful evening!

The Art and Photography Scene in Cuba

Cuba’s art scene remains vibrant and dynamic. I encourage travelers to explore the works of both young and legendary artists throughout the island. Visiting artist studios in the city offers a magical experience that immerses you in the local culture.

Current Projects

Currently, I am preparing for two exhibitions: one in Barcelona at the Utopia art centre this September and another in Venice at Arsenal, where I am a finalist for the Arte Laguna Prize in October.
