Shopping in Cuba
Cuban Cigars are the best in the world and something to be savored for true aficionados, whether that’s by buying them from Partagas factory shop outlet or having one rolled for you personally on a tobacco farm in Viñales. The island is, obviously associated with rum. But forget Havana Club. Cuba Private Travel can take you in search of the 25-year-old aged variety.
Havana is quite literally the last place in the world to go shopping for designer labels and any kind of brand but what if you forsake all this and go for true originality instead? We can show you the places where there is beautiful handmade leatherwork and exquisitely hand-stitched guayaberas amid the market tat. We can find the Murano glassware buried in the junk store. Political tomes are sold amid the bougainvillea-drenched beauty of the Plaza de Armas, but we can take you deeper into vintage books territory – seeking out private dealers in their homes. Poster prints of classic Cuban films are found at many a souvenir store but we will unearth proper revolutionary posters for you.
We can take you right into the studios of the most interesting contemporary artists to see if their art wins you over. A small, off-the-radar selection of interesting shops sells rare books and stunning Cuban memorabilia from the colonial era to the early days of the revolution.
