The
Russian Magdalena Rovenskaya, of nobility and with a dance career in Paris,
came in the twenties to Cuba and settled in 1930 in Baracoa
In 1953 she build the
Hotel La Rusa ***, then called Miramar,
on the Malecon in Baracoa
She was known as a
benefactor and supported the Cuban Revolution
Fidel Castro and Che Guevara spent
several times the night in hotel La Rusa
The hotel has retained its simplicity,
and you can book room 203 if you want to see where Che Guevara slept
We drank delicious coffee on the terrace, overlooking the Malecon and the sea
Traffic on the Malecon mainly consisted of cyclists, horse and carriages
and pedestrians
