Without doubt one of the highlights of Cuba was going to the saturday morning market. Everything is organically grown and the vegetables are delicious. market day is a day out for the family . Once the market has finished there is food, drink and a rodeo.

Just look at these fruits and vegetables, locally grown and have never seen a fridge! You must bring your own bags though.
