Cuba. An island everyone's heard of, but almost no one knows. Rum, cigars, old cars, revolution, the beaches of Varadero. A beautiful postcard that the whole world has memorized and stopped checking. Today, I'll examine the thirty most persistent myths about this country: from geography and cuisine to money, medicine, and big politics. Everything I discuss is based on data from the National Statistics and Information Authority of Cuba, the World Bank, the United Nations, and the tourism press. Links will be in the description. We'll go from thirtieth to first, and the myth that you most likely believe will end up at number one.
