Dinner with Fidel Castro's Chef

Dinner with Fidel Castro's Chef

At 7 pm, Chef Alex will open the doors of the San Mariano B&B to give you a warm welcome before your dinner with Fidel Castro's Chef.

After settling into the lounge, Chef Alex, alongside Carlos Bermudez, known as "El Chama," will tell you what it was like to cook for Fidel Castro for over fifteen years. While they prepare dinner, you'll get the chance to take a look at Chef Alex's exclusive photo album, where you'll be able to see unpublished photographs of the former Cuban president. 

After discovering the country's recent history from a fascinating point of view, it'll be time to enjoy some of the best dishes of Cuba's incredible gastronomy.
