It's time for a traditional Cuban sandwich at the local El Palenque restaurant. Post-lunch, head to the Revolutionary Museum for an immersive look at Cuba's political history. Ever wondered just how passionate the Cubans are about their music? Tonight, we'll get to experience this first-hand at a live music performance at a local Buena Vista Social Club event. The rhythms of salsa, son, and bolero will captivate your soul.
