After experiencing Cuban reality firsthand, the Spanish rapper Erin Castro, known as "El Trapicista," shared on social media what he considers the five key things people should know before traveling to the Caribbean island.
The artist (@eltrapicista) shared a video on TikTok where he advises travelers not to exchange money at banks in Cuba, recommending that they always do it on the street and “at the value of El Toque,” referring to the exchange rate published by that platform, which reflects the price of currencies in the informal market.
"Download the La Nave app," said El Trapicista. "It's like Uber, but the Cuban version."
Additionally, he pointed out: “If you travel by taxi, use the price that La Nave shows to negotiate the fare.”
The third piece of advice shared by the rapper was to buy a Cubacel SIM card for about 25 or 30 euros at the airport, "or you can ask to borrow one for free at your accommodation."
"If you travel between cities, use the collective taxi or the Vía Azul bus," recommended the singer, noting that it is "the most economical way to get around."
Lastly, he expressed: “Stay in an Airbnb,” arguing that there you will always find cheaper prices and “you will contribute to the local economy.”
Castro recently caused a stir on TikTok after sharing a video showing how much a meal cost him at a restaurant in Havana.
The young artist recently shared on social media the video – recorded in April of this year, as he noted in the comments – where he showed how "cheap" the prices he had paid were.
Days later, she captured the attention of her followers again by sharing another video, this time from a gym in Old Havana, showing how she trained there with local equipment.
