The relationship between the US and Cuba is thawing.
Obama has officially removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, which is good news for travelers who've been holding off on a visit to the country.
Cuba has some beautiful scenery — and some delicious food.
From croquetas stuffed with melted cheese and ham to sticky sweet plantains, Cuba's cuisine offers rich and tasty flavors.
Known as the Cuban hamburger, the frita is a patty of seasoned ground beef — sometimes mixed with chorizo — topped with crunchy shoe string fries, all sandwiched in between a Cuban bun. Some places even add a fried egg.
Corn on the cob is done a little differently in Cuba. The corn is grilled, rolled in cojita cheese, sprinkled generously with chili powder, and finished off with some lime juice, making for a richer and spicier taste.
Although Spain is the traditional destination for paella, Cuba offers its own version made with ham, chicken, mussels, chorizo, shrimp, scallops, and lobster.
