Description
Ernest Hemingway was a thrill-seeker eager for exoticism. He would womanize, hunted lions in Africa, supported the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War, and reported on the D-Day invasion in Normandy. But he would always return to his sole home port in Cuba, the Finca Vigia, nowadays a museum dedicated to this Literature Nobel Prize author, where the rudder of his boat, Pilar, is displayed. We also visit his favorite places in Havana.
