Mayday May Day… is Cuba‘s off? And wouldn’t Generalissimo Fidel Castro just turn in his grave.

Mind you that’s just what the Caribbean island’s Communist rulers have had to do because of fuel shortages.

All of which means that Revolution Square will have an empty feeling tomorrow on International Workers Day.

Normally hundreds of thousands would gather to keep the red flag or Cuba’s striped one with a red star flying high.

But because of the fuel shortages with motorists having to wait days at gas stations because of the American economic blockade and their reliance on Venezuela the country’s rulers have had to pull it.

Car-azy Cuba

The thought of all those Cubans queueing up in their old American classic cars is something that should alarm us too.

Particularly as those old gas-guzzling Chevys and Continentals are naturally less in vogue in the Oo Es of Eh.

Although some still keep theirs to show off to their relatives when they come a-visiting.

For those who do get themselves out to Cuba, and they should to help the island’s economy, and experience a truly unique culture then you should get on the Old Havana Cars Tour.

Papa alpha

We are, of course, taken by the Hemingway three-hour tour, Papa being synonymous with Cuba.

The highlights include Bar Floridita – the Hemingway House, Finca Vigía – Cojimar – Hotel Ambos Mundos – Nacional Capitol Building – Malecon – Hotel Nacional – Chinatown – Carlos III Street – Revolution Square – Cristobal Colon Cemetery.

You want to know about the cars, obvs.

Well, the hardtop car without a guide is €75 and without a guide is €105.
