Cuba Stores and Shopping Centres
Cuba stores and shopping centres
in Cuba there are a few shopping centres and supermarkets where you can get almost everything: shower gels, toilet paper, spaghetti, cornflakes and so on. But there are also centres with a lot of shops next to another, where you can buy shoes, clothes and luxury goods. You can only pay in CUC (Pesos Convertibles) here, and the prices are like industrialised countries.
