    Roooooon!!!!

    Havana Club is excellent rum. You can find different types of it in different price ranges. Its available in most tourist stores throughout Cuba and in your hotel's gift shop.

    Starts at $10 USD a bottle

    bulsa negra: Street venders

    In every Cuba city (and town!) I've been to there is always a black market where people try to sell all manner of merchandise: crafts, clothing, toys and clever knock-off items with famous U.S. trademarks on them. It's always interesting to check out what people are offering. Some of the smaller towns only have their markets open on specific days of the week.

    Good place to go to look for gifts for Cubans or possibly souveniers.

    duty free at the airport.

    rum,rum and more rum..we found that the rum at the airport was quite a bit cheaper than at the hotel shops.
    we especially like the havana club..
    anejo special and anejo 7..very good..we bought one coming into cuba to drink in our room with the coke in the mini bar.

    ordinary havana club was about £3 a litre..the 7 year old was about £6..compared to sainsburys £12 and £18..

    Cuba is well-known for its Rum and cigars. You may get taken to a rum museum or a cigar factory in Havana. You should at least take some home as presents for friends and family!

    Inexpensive, relative to prices at home.

    many shops: Calle Obispo

    If you are looking for souvenirs, there are many shops on Calle Obispo in Habana Vieja.

    Avenida de Italia (Galiano) has some peso shops, as well there are High end stores

    Remember to keep your receipt with you, as you leave the store, you may be asked to show your receipt. Other stores want you to leave your pack back at the front counter (re: shoplifting precautions).

    I bought a few things in this area, or the street market at Plaza de Almas.

    Cuban paintings are wonderful to have, and come in small sizes, reasonably prices. Wooden carvings, I have two 'ballerinas', ceramics, tshirts.

    You can buy tshirts for a reasonably low price, $7-$20, but the quality is not that great. I prefer to buy jewellery, rings, necklaces or crafts
