Did you know that:
-Cuba is the largest of all the Caribbean islands.
-Cuba has one of the best healthcare systems in the world, and it’s free for all citizens.
-Education too.
-Coca-cola is officially banned in Cuba. Officially…
-It has only snowed once in Cuba, in March 1857.
-In Cuba, government vehicles are legally required to pick up hitchhikers.
-In 2016, Cuba offered to pay a 276-million-dollar Soviet-era debt to the Czech Republic entirely in rum.
Coincidentally, Fábrica do Braço de Prata, the organizers of the 11th edition of Fiesta Cubana, say this:
“For a day, all the charm of Cuba crosses the Atlantic and is in Lisbon!”
The agenda promises:
Mojitos.
Cuban food.*
Salsa workshops.
Latin art.
Street performers.
Salsa dancers and Latin DJs (“to encourage dancing in the most embarrassed of feet”).
Live music by Victor Zamora’s Havana Way.
And, of course, rum.
And probably some Coca-cola.
*The Factory’s kitchen guarantees “good traditional Cuban food with vegetarian options.”
5€ tickets here.
Space is limited.
Viva La Fiesta!
