La Casa del Veguero

Viñales


To learn about the local tobacco-growing process, stop by this tobacco plantation just outside Viñales on the road south to Pinar del Río and see a fully functional secadero (drying house) in which tobacco leaves are cured from February to May. The staff give brief explanations, and you can buy loose cigars (the unbranded variety most Cubans smoke) here at discount prices. There's a restaurant too.
