Travels

CUBA | Saturday, 31 December 2016 | Views [430]

Had breakfast at Don Camelo at 9:30 am (had 2 ham and cheese sandwiches, because other items quite expensive ^_^). A lot of restaurants are not opened for breakfast yet.
Took a taxi to Pinar del Rio. Ended up the famous Fabrica de Tabacos at Pinar del Rio is closed for fiesta from 28/12 - 16/1. Did a short walk at the city, plaza, and visited the Palacio de los Matrimonios (the guy there gave us a nice tour of the palacio). The Art Gallery Casa Taller looks great, but closes till 3 pm >_<.
After negotiation with the taxi driver, took us to Alejanoro Robaina Tobacco 1845 Plantation. Did a quick tour where there was a demo of 'wrapping of cigar'. We ended up buying a few AR cigars for testing and for photo ops ^_^.
Back at Vinales Downtown, we bought the tickets for the Bus Tour, which started at 3:00 pm at Pacque Vinales (w/ 18 stops). We stopped at Mural de la Prehistoria and walked back to the city.
Had drinks and watch sunset at Cafe del Mojito, which has nice decor (along Adela Azcuy)
Wanted to try dinner at Cocinita del Medio, but it was fully booked. Also closed tomorrow, so no luck trying the restaurant.
Stayed the night at Casa Julia
