You know sometimes when you hear the name of a place and it conjures up such evocative images in the mind's eye that you've just got to go? Well, I was doing a bit of research for a news article about Modernism in Palma when I came across this building,
It's the Hostal Cuba in Santa Catalina, Palma, and was built in 1904. It's soon to reopen as a chic urban Hotel Cuba, and the Bar Cuba on the ground floor has just been given a similar makeover.
Can you hear the congas already? Santa Catalina is one of those barrios full of Boho bars (there's another one called the Havanna) that's a cool place to go out but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. ie a bottle of house wine in Cuba is only €7.50!
You can sit on the terrace
or inside the bar, where I can see us quaffing a few 'Cuba Libres' later this week!
