Las Terrazas de Cojímar: One hundred years of flavors and legends By Yoanna Cervera Photos: Abel Rojas Barallobre In a picturesque fishing village east of Havana, the sea air mingles with the echo of the waves. With a privileged view, a century-old restaurant defies time: Las Terrazas de Cojímar, a witness to Cuba’s literary and tourism history. Inaugurated on May 20, 1925 as Las Arecas bar, it was first a mixed grocery store and then, “It became a modest inn for fishermen and passers-by, until 1940, when it was acquired by Salvador Blanco, who gave it its current title,” explains Argentine Professor and researcher Ricardo Koon, someone who treasures important notes linked to this setting and especially to the life of Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway, who made it legendary. “This is Hemingway’s little table, number 11. He used to sit here to wait for Gregorio Fuentes, the skipper of the Pilar [...]

Royal Caribbean Says 2025 Bookings “On Track” Bookings for 2025 have “remained on track,” Royal Caribbean President and CEO Jason Liberty said in its recent earnings report, in a positive sign for the travel industry amid global uncertainty. The company cited record bookings during the key Wave season and sustained strength in April demand — including a notable uptick in close-in reservations.

The Miami-based company pointed to stable load factors in line with historical norms, though it widened its forward guidance to reflect increased uncertainty in the broader macroeconomic environment. “Bookings for 2025 have remained on track, cancellation levels are normal, and we continue to see excellent close-in demand” said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. “This year continues our guest experience innovation with the debut of Star of [...]
