Havana markets

Just ask a Cuban to show you where Havana markets are located. Many are hidden away, like Animas, down a side street.

At these small farmers’ markets you can buy aromatic vegetables and tropical fruits like mangos, papaya and the exotic mamey; also black beans, garlic and avocados.

Many of the market sellers offer a piece of their fruits for you to sample.
