La Bodeguita del Medio
Created by the end of years 50 in Havana (Cuba), the legendary "Bodeguita" made famous because it was a favourite haunt of Ernest Hemingway, the B del M, as it is known, started out as a grocery store which then started to serve "mojitos" and snacks to thirsty businessmen. It was also frequented by numerous personalities of the art and the policy, between which, Pablo Neruda, Errol Flynn, Salvador Allende or Martine Carol. Through the back is another room, this time with tables and chairs, where meals are served, all the usual "comida Criolla" typical of Cuba. The most eye-catching thing about the B del M is the wall as you enter, which is covered with the signatures of previous visitors, famous and not-so-famous. Why not add yours?. 2004-12-02.
