Travel guides to Cuba have come a long way over the last 20 years, as tourism has boomed and interest in the island has become better informed.  This is an excellent guide: revised in 2007 it is the most up to date guide around, a handy size to slip in a your pocket, colour coded for quick access to the pages you need, full of luscious colour photos and maps.

It has plenty of useful directories with contact details for hotels and casas particulares, restaurants and paladares, music and arts venues and events, ideas for planning visits plus essential survival tips and small phrasebook.

However, where it particularly excels is in its clear factual presentations on Cuba’s history, politics, revolutionary achievements, arts, culture and nature.  It steers clear of personal, cynical opinions on places, practices and events based on anecdotal evidence, preferring concise explanations informed by the Cuban point of view. Dorling Kindersley, the publishers, specialise in educational books and this is well-structured and well-researched. It explains the best of Cuba in a non-judgmental way and with infectious enthusiasm.
