A Maverick Cuban Way: How to connect with the Caribbean's

A Maverick Cuban Way: How to connect with the Caribbean's largest island, its culture, and its people
BY THE AUTHOR OF A MAVERICK NEW ZEALAND WAY, FINALIST IN THE TRAVEL CATEGORY, INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS, MAY 2018.

This is not a travel guide. Why? Because you canâ€™t read a travel guide from cover to cover. But you can read Mary Janeâ€™s travel memoir of Cuba just after Fidel Castro. In a flowing narrative that comes with 247 photos and maps, Mary Jane begins with a particularly strong and well-informed historical chapter, which sets the scene for more contemporary descriptions that follow.

Mary Jane spoke to many local people, staying in casas particulares (guest-houses) and travelling on local buses. Containing some guidance for travellers, but not a guidebook, A Maverick Cuban Way describes Mary Jane's journey from Havana around the island, via:
- the beach resort of Varadero
- the French-founded city of Cienfuegos
- Playa GirÃ³n, beside the historically notorious but ecologically significant Bay of Pigs
- the old-fashioned town of Trinidad
- the city of Bayamo, honoured in Cuba's national anthem La Bayamesa
- Fidel's 1950s hideout in the Sierra Maestra
- Pico Turquino, the highest mountain in Cuba
- Santiago de Cuba, the second city of the island
- GuantÃ¡namo, the site of the American base, a Cuban town, and the GuantÃ¡namera
- Baracoa, a once-isolated coastal town with a strong Haitian influence; and
- CamagÃ¼ey, an inland city of the plains.
