90 Miles From Florida, Cuban Culture Flourishes

Since relations between the United States and Cuba are thawing, the chance to visit this long-forbidden nation is finally becoming a reality.


By Alicia E. García | Rizzoli; $55

You can start your exploration early on the pages of Old Cuba. Author Alicia García was born there and has dedicated her life to the preservation of her country’s culture. The imagery of its proud-yet-weathered architectural heritage is provided by Julio A. Larramendi, an accomplished photographer featured in numerous books and exhibits. The combination of her words and his pictures puts the island nation at your fingertips.
