Originally, from 1898 to1948, there was a Café Vista Alegre in the Cuban capital, which became the regular haunt of artists and intellectuals such as Sindo Garay, Miguel Matamoros, Fernando Ortiz and Arsenio Rodriguez.
Each presentation of the Café Vista Alegre Project at the Habana Café will be hosted by musician Pancho Amat and accompanied by some of the foremost performers of traditional Cuban music.
This new attraction is a the result of a cooperation effort between the Ministry of Culture and Sol Meliá, which continues include the inexhaustible inspiration of Cuban culture in its tourist product for the enjoyment of its clients.
