“Cuban keys”, the tiny islands of Jardines del Rey (“the King’s
Gardens”) strung off Cuba’s Atlantic coast are immortalized in Ernest
Hemingway’s novel, “Islands in the Stream”. Mangroves and
everglades, flamingoes and roseate spoonbills, sun-bleached sand
and turquoise waters make this little corner of paradise the perfect
retreat.
The keys are in the agricultural province of Ciego de Avila, whose
red clay soil is the most productive in the country. The provincial
capital of the same name is surrounded by pineapple farms, and has
the area’s main airport. Today, a 27-kilometre causeway connects the
mainland to the keys, which are rapidly becoming one of the
Caribbean’s most popular spots. The islands are part of Cuba’s
northern coral reef, which yields spectacular snorkeling and diving.
