Cuba
Two paladares stand out in Trinidad:
Sol y Son - very nice comida criolla, in the courtyard of a Trinidad Colonial residence.
Estela - The best paladare in Trinidad, and the only place we ate at twice in Cuba. Brilliant home cooked style comida criolla, with huge portions in a beautiful setting.
Sol y Son - Bolivar 283 e. Pais y Marti
Estela - Bolivar 557 e. Marquez y Mendoza
Try pizza for Cubans, sold from house windows. If you look around you can get this cheap and tasty local pizza for as little as 5 peso cubanos. Greate taste. Enjoy your meal!
Try Piro Guinart, the green house on the corner, a few metres from the bus terminal.
To visit the valley just outside Trinidad you can take a taxi-tour for 20 cuc or the train (which doesn't run everyday). It's beautiful.
In Trinidad stay at Ruth's, she is very friendly gives you huge portions if you have dinner there.
