📣 Traveler notes

- Cuban culture is generally courteous and direct. Avoid political discussions or inquiries into local politics, as this can make locals uncomfortable. Supporting local economies by staying in *casas particulares*, eating in *paladares*, or shopping from street vendors is encouraged. Note that local vendors may view tourists as sources of goods and may ask for products that are difficult to acquire.
About this holiday
The Triumph of the Revolution commemorates two events: the flight of Fulgencio Batista on January 1, 1959, and the capture of Havana by the 26 July Movement on January 8.
