Comments on: Why we owe Cuba an apology https://mrandmrsromance.com/cuba-apology/ Travel, lifestyle and romance Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:08:32 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mr Romance https://mrandmrsromance.com/cuba-apology/#comment-130286 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 01:08:14 +0000 https://mrandmrsromance.com/?p=24965#comment-130286 In reply to Ana.

Hi Ana. Thanks for the feedback and the details for the translation. I don’t speak Spanish and relied on our Google translate app.

Sorry you found the article patronising. We wrote it in the context of our previous stories where – from our first visit to Cuba in 2014 – we found the food to be surprisingly poor. Our recent experience was in such contrast we felt we had to set records straight. We were so impressed with the food in Cuba we believe it’s now a highlight rather than the contra.

Thanks again for your comment though. Cheers – Jim

I’m sorry, but I find this article patronizing. I know you had good intentions writing it, but still.
