Among them, Cuban culture has a far-reaching influence on the region. So far, the descendants of Cubans still abide by their national traditions. Although cigar factories no longer exist, Cuban restaurants, fragrant coffee roasters, cigar shops, and the annual Latin Festival still remain in this land.
