A Maverick Cuban Way
No Customer Reviews
BY THE AUTHOR OF A MAVERICK NEW ZEALAND WAY, FINALIST IN THE TRAVEL CATEGORY, INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS, MAY 2018. This is not a travel guide. Why? Because you can't read a travel guide from cover to cover. But you can read Mary Jane's travel memoir of Cuba just after Fidel Castro. In a flowing narrative that comes with 247 photos and maps, Mary Jane begins with a particularly strong and well-informed historical chapter, which sets the scene for more contemporary descriptions that follow. Mary Jane spoke to many local people, staying in casas particulares (guest-houses) and travelling on local buses. Containing some guidance for travellers, but not a guidebook, A Maverick Cuban Way describes Mary Jane's journey from Havana around the island, via: the beach resort of Varadero the French-founded city of Cienfuegos Playa Gir n, beside the historically notorious but ecologically significant Bay of Pigs the old-fashioned town of Trinidad the city of Bayamo, honoured in Cuba's national anthem La Bayamesa Fidel's 1950s hideout in the Sierra Maestra Pico Turquino, the highest mountain in Cuba Santiago de Cuba, the second city of the island Guant namo, the site of the American base, a Cuban town, and the Guant namera Baracoa, a once-isolated coastal town with a strong Haitian influence; and Camag ey, an inland city of the plains.
