Ernest Hemingway's Farm

"In 1939, US novelist Ernest Hemingway rented a villa called Finca da Vigía on a hill at San Francisco de Paula, 15 km southeast of central Havana. A year later he bought the building, which was erected in 1888, and lived there continuously until 1960, when he moved back to the US. Each morning Hemingway would rise at dawn and would spend six hours standing in oversized moccasins before a typewriter, writing....Before leaving, Hemingway donated his estate to the Cuban people, and since 1962, it has housed the Museo Hemingway." Even if one can only tour the exterior of the house and the garden, "it's still worth coming to see Hemingway's fishing boat, El Pilar, the graves of four of his dogs, and the pool where actress Ava Gardner once swam naked."
