But with all that color and character comes a lot of non-maintained streets, buildings and infrastructure. Our money goes a very long way there as well. To provide one small example; I bought a loaf of Cuban bread for breakfast and paid them $1 CUC (convertible Cuban money) and received almost all of it back in CUP’s (Cuban peso). They didn’t have change per say. With that being said, the delicious and fresh two foot long Cuban bread cost me about 23 cents.
