In the photo: La Bodeguita del Medio, now a typical restaurant-bar of Havana used to be a small grocery story back in 1942 but that has worldwide recognition for
traditional Cuban cocktails like Mojito and Daiquiri. Through the years, this spot in Old Havana has been regularly visited by distinguished personalities that have
included among others, Pablo Neruda, Agustín Lara, Brigitte Bardot, Ignacio ‘Bola de Nieve’ Villa, Ernest Hemingway and Salvador Allende. La Bodeguita del Medio is a
must for most visitors to Cuba.
