Located on the meticulously decorated rooftop terrace of the Autentica Pergola Hostel, La Aldaba boasts an unbeatable panoramic view of the city and serves great seafood, lamb and chicken dishes, as well as a wide selection of local rums.
Bars & Nightlife
Like in the rest of Cuba, Santa Clara's nightlife centres around music and dancing. Crowds gather around fabulous live bands at bars, restaurants, and cafes in breezy outdoor terraces and inner courtyards, each one claiming to have the best mojito or daiquiri, and each one also claiming to have been Ernest Hemingway's favourite haunt. That part may not necessarily be true, but that won't get in the way of a good night out.
