Pepe Medina

Librería Pepe Median is a small but attractive bookshop with a good selection of mainly Spanish-language books of all genres. As is to be expected, Cuban writers are well represented, though international authors can also be found.

Shopping

Most visitors to Cuba look for two things when shopping: rum and cigars. And while you can find them in droves (and always of the highest quality), there is more to be found. Cuban handicrafts and artworks are top-notch, and you can also find pretty unique tomes at some of the city's bookstores. The main shopping artery is a pedestrianized stretch of Calle Independencia, nicknamed the 'Boulevard'.
