HAVANA, CUBA: BEFORE THE REVOLUTION (27 PHOTOS)

In some places, the country seems stuck in its prerevolutionary past. The famous National Hotel shows photographs of gangsters and famous guests. The Tropicana still has a night cabaret. And many Hemingway fans stop at La Floridita, one of their favorite places, for expensive rum cocktails.

For many tourists, 50s Cuba has a romantic charm. Last year, over two million people visited the island, with revenues of $ 2.4 billion, according to the Cuban government.
