In my previous comment I forgot one important change in Cuba since Castro took over. That is: Black Cubans are no longer banned from tourist spots. In 1999, a very dark skinned Cuban taxi driver told me that prior to Castro, he could take passengers to the Tropicana Night Club but he was denied entry because of the color of his skin . The Castro philosophy is that " A Cuban is a Cuban". There is no Spanish (white) Cuban or Afro (Black) Cuban. To him, that was a major change. It took the USA well past 1959 to learn that
