Trinidad is one of the most beautiful cities in Cuba- the streets are narrow and cobbled, the houses in the historic centre all unfailingly charming and brightly painted, and the pace unhurried (even by Cuban standards and let's face it, they're not exactly the busiest people on earth).
Being such a popular tourist destination, Trinidad is also home to some of Cuba's most persistent jinoteros (hustlers) so we'd invariably spend large portions of each day saying "no, gracias" to offers of cheap cigars (filled with sawdust), taxis, horse-riding tours, souvenirs and black market Havana Club (ok, we said yes please to that one).
We cycled out to the Parque el Cubano and swum at the Javira Waterfall, took coco taxis to Playa Ancon and swum in the Caribbean and wandered all over town admiring the scenery.
Ron Mulata is one of the average-priced aged rums that comes in at around the CUC$7 mark. While I loved the chica on the label, I was not a fan of this one at all. Mainly because it smelt like whiskey (which I loathe). Martijn had to finish this one off on his own. He was also not particularly enamored of it, but he's a good Dutchman and wasn't about to waste it!!
