The most popular souvenirs are the local cigars, reckoned by aficionados to be the equal of Cubans.
The Spanish airline Iberia has been flying to Cuba for 70 years, a fact that has favoured the development of the leisure industry on the island by providing greater possibilities of connections between Madrid, the Iberian capital, and Havana.
This fact is recognized by the tourist authorities who celebrate the 70th anniversary of Iberia's first trip to the Greater Antilles, on April 21, 1949, which was a milestone for the time.
Although in the last 60 years, U.S. sanctions against the island intensified, Iberia maintained its flights and although in 2012 announced cuts in their journeys to different destinations in the world, in June 2015 the company resumed their trips to Havana and subsequently increased to six weekly flights connectivity with the island.
Flight schedules allow connections with nearly 90 destinations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, favouring tourism and business exchanges on both sides of the Atlantic.
It flies to more than 120 destinations in 46 countries in Europe, America, Africa and the Middle East and is the leading company on routes between Europe and Latin America.
