A fantastic evening at the Buenavista Social Club being entertained by the Afrocuban All Stars, possibly helped by the three mojitos included in the ticket price. Slightly muzzy heads as we set off to Las Terrazas, a sustainable rural development area established on a Reserve comprising of lush forested hills where we saw ruins of an old coffee plantation with stunning views. We then had a walk through the community which is basically free council housing for about 1000 workers. Needs to be free as average wage is very low. Slightly communist design but in a beautiful setting. The afternoon finished with a walk to the waterfall area where the locals can swim, picnic or camp in some interesting huts along with the mosquitoes. More rice, beans, chicken and pork for dinner assisted by a cocktail, beers then free rum because it was Valentines Day!
