The House of la Trova is one of the most special places in Santiago de Cuba, home of the trova, a traditional Cuban musical style whose Santiago variant is the most popular. It is a charming bar where accompanied by a refreshing drink you can enjoy to the sound of Cuban chords.
This small cafe with a bar was a meeting place for many minstrels, hence the reason why it became known as La Trovita. In the 90s the premises were expanded and the new Casa de la Trova became a space where the trova and her verses, either improvised or carefully composed, sound to the beat of the guitar.
The fame of this bar is incredible, thousands of visitors come to enjoy this unique experience. Even such famous personalities as the Beatle Paul McCartney have not been able to resist coming to this magical place. Proof of this is his signature placed among the many photos, paintings and posters that decorate the walls of the premises.
