Hostal Rubio

The jewel in the crown is Julio and his wife (sadly, we never learnt her name). They were always on hand and Julio speaks perfect English; after a bout of food poisoning - not of his doing - he even offered to go with my unwell partner and me to the hospital in the middle of the night, if needed.

For us he was extremely helpful when we had a problem with our car. We couldn’t have solved it since our spanish was too poor so that Señor Rubio offered and joined us at our visit to the car mechanic.

Altogether we felt warmly welcome and really at home with Señor Rubio and his lovely family. We had so many different chats about the cuban way of life, funny and interesting stories, comparison of cultures and history with the result that we felt sad and regret that we spent only 1 week with theses nice people when we headed for our next station in Cuba.
