Last Night in Cuba: A Gastronomic Goodbye in Havana🇨🇺

After days of buffet monotony (rice, beans, fried chicken on loop🍚🍗), my final night in Cuba demanded an escape to Havana’s old town. 🌆 Old Town Magic: Where Cuba Comes Alive Wandering cobblestone streets, I followed the scent of rum and grilled meat to a local joint—colonial charm, rum bottles, and a warm “¡Bienvenidos!” The vibe? Pure Caribbean energy. 🍽️ Cuban Flavors Unleashed 1. Ropa Vieja (Shredded Beef with Rice, Black Beans, Plantains) Cuba’s national dish: tender beef in tomato sauce, paired with “longevity black beans” and crispy plantains🍌. A symphony of sweet, salty, and savory—Havana on a plate. 2. Pork Ribs with Yuca Mash Ribs: crispy, juicy, spiced with Cuban herbs (garlic, smoke🌴). Yuca mash: creamy, sweet. A carnivore’s dream, no regrets. 3. Mojito🍹 The Cuban staple—mint, lime, rum, soda. Refreshing, zesty, and oh-so-essential. Served with live jazz, it’s Havana in a glass. 💵 Value & Quirks: $50 Well Spent Two mains, a Mojito, tips—$50 total. Friendly service, authentic flavors, and yes, a few flies (tropical flair🌴). A steal compared to hotel buffets. 🌙 Farewell, Cuba This meal wasn’t just food—it was a cultural hug. Havana’s streets, music, and flavors will stay with me. Until next time, Ropa Vieja and Mojitos🍹—you’re etched in my memory. #CubaTravel #HavanaFood #Mojito #LastNight #CubanCuisine
