The former seaside village, 15 minutes by taxi from central Havana (), now a concrete jungle, featured in Hemingways The Old Man and the Sea, is an easy excursion. Hemingway celebrated his Nobel prize here in 1954 and there is a bust of him opposite a fort. The coastline is covered in sharp rocks and is dirty because of tanker effluent. La Terraza is a restaurant with photographs of Hemingway covering the walls, a pleasant view and over-priced seafood meals.
