Fusterlandia
Artist José Fuster has decorated an entire bayside fishing village with colorful tile mosaics. Nicknamed “Cuba's Gaudí,” it is a fairy-tale neighborhood.
Fusterlandia is located in the Jaimanitas fishing village on the western edge of Havana, about 20 km from Old Havana. Starting in the 1990s, artist José Fuster turned his own home into an artwork full of mosaics, sculptures, and poetry. Neighboring houses, bus stops, and small street gardens were later decorated as well. The studio is open to visitors for free (you can buy works or make a donation), and a full visit takes about an hour. It can be combined on the same day with the Tropicana cabaret to the west or the Miramar neighborhood, and a round-trip taxi is the most convenient option.
