Cuba Underground: (Bilingual Spanish / English)

In CUBA UNDERGROUND, adventurous author, Dennis Valder, discovers the Cuba unknown to the media. His travels begin from a small international notice welcoming caving exploration then continues through the streets of small towns, vacation hot spots and seldom seen venues along the northern coast, ending in Havana.
