cook like a local
A cooking class could certainly be one of the most amusing and authentic experiences during your trip. It is a great chance to witness the way a Cuban family lives, their daily routine and learn about the main ingredients in the Cuban cuisine. For a very long time Cuban food has had a bad reputation for being bland, this is mainly because of the lack of resources and, as locals say, you “cook with what you can find”. Let us prove you wrong! Go for this cooking experience and we can assure you it will be one of the best meals you will in Cuba.
