Santa Clara has one of the best obacco factories in Cuba.If you want to go for a visit pay attention to the following:1* you must buy a ticket from a tourist station before you go the factory . 2* you must wait and join a tour at specific hours othewise they don't let you in and  3* under no circumstances will let you take photos !!!They are very strict about it and are watching your fingers continuously to see that you do not touch the camera trigger.

We left the car outside the Santa Clara Libre hotel.In the morning a guy was waiting for us near a cleaned car and explaining that he took care of the car the whole night.Believe me,it's worth to give them a few dollars for their effort.You might find it annoying but is not.That's the way !
