Around 11.1 million people live in Cuba, and it’s a capital town in Havana, which has a population of approx 2.1 million people. Famous for its legendary cigars, American vintage cars, magnificent beaches, rich underwater marine life, and much more, Cuba should be in your bucket list of places to visit in 2020 if you want to explore the incredible Caribbean scenery and culture of entire Cuba.
Cuba in the 1950s was such a strategically important place that espionage bloomed there and in the satirical spy novel Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene the general desire for first-hand intelligence has strange offshoots.

He can use the money and thus begins to play his part in the Cold War game. In London nobody notices that his reports are all made up and because he is such a success he’s sent support. From there the fake reports develop dynamics of their own pushing Wormold into the dangerous (and in several cases fatal) net of real espionage and towards his attractive as well as understanding secretary Beatrice.
