Cuba

Surrounded by mankinis and Che Guevara souvenirs, Robert Drewe retires to his deckchair and a thermos of Mojitos.

For a taste of old Cuba, Lydia Bell heads east. The Oriente and its stridently Afro-Cuban capital, Santiago de Cuba, remain largely untouched by the wave of change sweeping the island.

Author Mark Kurlansky takes us through his Havana, including the most famous place for a Mojito and where to go when you're tired of authentic country pork.
