Sancti Spíritus
This centrally located agropecuario (free-enterprise vegetable market) is just off the main shopping boulevard. Shop as the Cubans do.
Must-see restaurants in Cuba
Trinidad
This bakery and cake shop retains a busy street-corner atmosphere, cleanish toilets and a couple of internet terminals (CUC$3 for 20 minutes).
Santiago de Cuba
One of the better-stocked supermarkets in town, with a great ice cream selection. It's just beyond the northeastern corner of Plaza de Marte.
Habana del Este
Tienda Villa Los Pinos is a small grocery store for self-caterers at the Villa Los Pinos hotel.
Habana del Este
This small grocery store is opposite the Hotel Marazul near Playa Santa María del Mar.
Habana Vieja
Vieja's modest local farmers market. Come and see where your casa-particular owner bought this morning's breakfast.
Holguín
Relatively well-stocked Cuban department store and supermarket with a bakery section on Parque Calixto García.
Ciego de Ávila Province
Sells basic groceries in one of Ciego's grandest fin-de-siècle buildings. Inside it's a lot less grand.
Vedado
A 'capped' market with cheap prices but a limited selection of produce (fruit and veg mainly).
Trinidad
This store has a decent selection of groceries and a resident hawker outside plying cigars.
Guantánamo Province
Right on the beach, this open-sided snack bar is good for cheese sandwiches, beer and rum.
Holguín
Cheap food stalls next to the baseball stadium. Not for those with sensitive tummies.
Isla de la Juventud
Nueva Gerona's typically scruffy market with fresh vegetables and meat.
