Travel Posters from A Pre-Castro Cuba


Before Fidel Castro came down from the mountains, Cuba was a Carribean hotspot. Nightclubs, casinos, beaches, rum, debauchery. All just 90 miles away! Of course, it was an island essentially run by the Mob and its people were held down under the cruel thumb of the dictactor Fulgencio Bastita, too. Now, after the announcement of the U.S.-Cuba détente, the Caribbean's largest island could become another tourist hotspot for curious norteamericanos. But until then, sit back, enjoy a mojito and check out these old travel posters luring vacationers south.
