Hemingway's farm outside Havana

Ernest Hemingway rented Finca Vigía outside Havana in 1939 and bought it in 1940. He lived there for about twenty years.

He wrote The Old Man and the Sea here, standing at a typewriter in his bedroom. His boat, the Pilar, is kept on the grounds.

After he left Cuba in 1960, the Cuban government made the house a museum, kept much as he left it.

The rooms still look like he just stepped out.
