HAVANA: BODEGUITA DEL MEDIO

 

We invite you to discover one of Havana's most iconic corners: La Bodeguita del Medio. Opened on a day like today but in 1942, this legendary establishment has become a true bohemian sanctuary, bearing witness to Cuba's cultural evolution. Its walls, covered in graffiti, dedications, and stories, have served as a gathering place for artists, intellectuals, and renowned figures, including Ernest Hemingway, who found inspiration in the unmatched mojito—his favorite cocktail.  

But La Bodeguita isn’t just famous for its connection to the writer; it’s a space where art, music, and literature blend into a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Here, every corner tells a story—from the tales of old gatherings to the legendary mojito recipe, which has remained unchanged over the years, making it the establishment’s signature symbol.  

This iconic spot has preserved its essence throughout the decades, becoming a must-visit destination for both culture lovers and those seeking an authentic Cuban experience. Come and feel the history and charm of La Bodeguita del Medio, a true treasure that continues to inspire generations and awaits you to share its secrets in every sip and every conversation.
