Cuba - Fiona McAuslan

Whether you're looking to stay at one of Cuba's newer mega-resorts or hoping to hunker down in a casa particulare for $20 a day, The Rough Guide to Cuba is the only guide you1ll need. The coverage of Cuba's biggest city, Havana, is extensive - including six maps, hundreds of listings, and detailed takes on the best museums. This is matched by exhaustive coverage of less well-known small towns in the interior, where the authors get under the skin and track down the islands' offbeat charms. Cuba's bureaucratic state can make it a difficult place to travel and the Rough Guide is loaded with helpful advice on working the system. There is also full coverage of Cuba's colourful history and culture.
