Cojímar

"Cojímar was founded in the 17th century at the mouth of the Río Cojímar....During the 1940s and 50s, Ernest Hemingway kept his boat, El Pilar, in the harbor of this picturesque little village, 10 km east of Havana. Cojímar became the prototype of the fishing village in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, which won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. In 1994, Cojímar was a departure point for thousands of 'rafters' lured to Florida by US radio broadcasts and promises of political asylum....Hemingway's old captain, Gregorio Fuentes, after whom Hemingway is thought to have modeled the protagonist in his novel, The Old Man and the Sea, still lives in Cojímar."
