A
El Ranchón
Atop a long flight of stairs at the western end of Coroneles Galano, El Ranchón mixes an exhilarating hilltop setting with taped disco and salsa music and legions of resident jineteras (women who attach themselves to male foreigners for monetary or material gain) . Maybe that’s why it’s so insanely popular. Watch your step on the way down – it’s a scary 146-step drunken tumble.

Casa de la Trova Victorino Rodríguez
Cuba’s smallest, zaniest, wildest and most atmospheric casa de la trova ( trova house) rocks nightly to the voodoolike rhythms of changüí-son. Order a mojito in a jam jar and sit back and enjoy the show.
