Cuba is a Caribbean island nation under communist rule. It has sugar-white beaches and is dotted with tobacco fields, which play a part in the production of the country's legendary cigars. The capital, Havana, is lined with pastel houses, 1950s-era cars and Spanish-colonial architecture in the 16th-century core, Old Havana.

Cuban cuisine is a vibrant blend of Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences, reflecting the island's diverse cultural heritage. It is characterized by its use of fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and simple preparation methods. Staples include rice, beans, plantains, and root vegetables, often accompanied by pork, chicken, or seafood. Popular dishes include ropa vieja, a shredded beef stew; arroz con pollo, a chicken and rice dish; and picadillo, a ground beef hash. Cuban cuisine also features a variety of tropical fruits and spices, such as lime, garlic, and cumin, which add depth and richness to its dishes.
