Peeling Plantains to make TOSTONES. One of my favorite Cuban side dishes. Tostones are made of green Plantains and are very popular side or snack.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The hard part is peeling them, an old Cuban superstition says that you should keep quiet while peeling plantains other wise your fingers will become black. I'm very chatty so this is the hard part for me!

Today we are celebrating International Women's Rights Day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year's invitation to create a more inclusive world, made me think on Villaverde's novel "Cecilia Valdés" where the melodramatic plot serves as a background for social life in Cuba, with slavery, injustice, crises and personal tragedies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes! we have made historic progress towards equality but we live in incredibly contrasting times, where there is still much work to be done.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Sculpture of Cecilia Valdés by the artist Erig Rebull, is located in front of the atrium of the Santo Ángel Custodio Church, in Havana, in the Loma del Ángel square.

Croquetas Cubanas!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A perfect snack or a main dish. In Cuba we eat the them with bread, rice, ketchup, mayo, salad, for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner…. 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They can be made out of almost everything : fish, chicken, veggies, cheese, risotto leftovers or even Thai food from last takeaway (yeah I once did croquetas from it, and they were amazing)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recipe coming soon on the blog!

El Torreón de Cojímar
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Cojimar Tower was built in the 17th century as part of the defensive system of the city against the enemies of the Spanish Crown. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982, the "Castillito" - as we fondly call it in Cojimar- is located just a few steps from Casa Castillo.

YEMAYA the goddess of the Sea. The mother of the Orishas on the Yoruba religion. Brought to Cuba by the African slaves she is often syncretized with either Our Lady of Regla (Virgen de Regla) or Virgin Maria in the Afro-Cuban diaspora. Obligated by the colonial masters to adopt the catholic religion, the African slaves baptized their African gods with the names of the catholic saints.
She is the protector of women and associated with the feminine mysteries.

Welcome to Cuba

Almost 5 years ago, when my husband met my family in Cuba, he directly fell in love with. At that time I lived in Germany and he lived in Paris (hence the two names of the two apartments in Cojimar: Berlind and Paris). When we decided to live together, the most practical, fastest and better solution was Germany. The thought of staying in Cuba for longer than the two weeks holiday was of course there and thought it would not be a bad idea to have a second residence there. So we took our personal savings and with the help of our parents we started our little project. Three years later, after a lot of construction, renovation, bad surprises and stress, we are finally finished and proud and can open the doors to Cuba enthusiasts, friends and families.

Come and enjoy Cuba, her music, her people, her mojitos and her culture and history
