Bienvenidos a Cienfuegos!! La ciudad que Benny More le gusta mas!!
Cienfuegos' main plaza is just about the most sparkling collection of buildings in Cuba. In contrast to Havana's eclectic range of building styles, Cienfuegos boasts mainly neoclassical, french-influenced architecture and was home to one of Cuba's favourite musos- Benny More.
It also hosts our next Rum Diary installment!! Our next bottle of Cuban rum we purchased in the plaza's Teatro Tomas Terry for the low, low price of CUC$9 (about the price of four beers- bargain).
Havana Club Añejo Especial is the workhorse of Cuban rum- reliable, awesome value for money (about $5 in a shop), damn smooth and tasty straight (which makes Martijn happy) and goes well with soda water (which makes me less drunk).
It also seemed to be the rum of choice for a group of guys we met by the beach. We bonded over our respective bottles and discussed the price of gold in Cuba (not such a random topic when you consider how much bling some of the dudes were covered in).
