La Habana - I will pick you up at your accommodation with a classic American car. There is no better way to begin connecting with a city and locals than at a farmer’s market. Our first stop will be the emblematic Egido Market in Old Havana. Join me as we taste seasonal fruits, talk about traditional recipes and dishes, and share with locals as they buy fresh ingredients and where flowers and even medicinal herbs can be found. You’ll also get the chance to buy your own produce under my advice and learn about the dual currency system of the Cuban economy along the way. Then, we’ll head to state-run markets with food and other products that are daily to Cuban life and where you’ll discover the difference that they make in locals’ life. As a food enthusiast, I’ll also take you to non-tourist food places where you’ll savor signature Cuban snacks. Stops for antiques, secondhand books, posters, crafted shoes and vinyl records are also included in the tour. Know the stories behind these markets and behind some of the items there, and learn how to become a self-employee on the island. No better way to finish this sort of hop-on hop-off adventure than with a delicious cup of Cuban coffee! I’m pretty sure that at the end of this tour I would have met all your expectations and more!
