Lying just over 90 miles from Key West, Florida, Cuba -- the largest of the Antilles islands -- is a close neighbor of the United States', whose longstanding embargo is one of the more enduring contradictions of history. Cuba is also one of the most Hispanic of the Caribbean nations, where the cross-infusion of African culture has created a magnificent tradition of music and dance.

With the help of the Traveler's Companion, readers find and delight in the best the island has to offer, from the historic beauty of its colonial towns to its vibrant nightlife; from its still-pristine tropical beaches to the lush, fauna-rich forests of its mountains.
