Advice for Cuba (hexbear.net)

Dear people on this website, I'm strongly considering going on a trip to Cuba soon alone. I'm a decent Spanish speaker and an American, wondering if anyone has any good tips or advice for the trip. I know I want to see that ice cream shop that fidel was obsessed with.

Thanks in advance!

Adding on to this, if you bring cash with you on your flight prepare to be stopped, searched, and questioned extensively. I'm not sure about the current status of Visa and Mastercard while in Cuba and if it has changed recently, so having a little bit is probably a good idea because I assume they still won't work because of the sanctions. Though if you happen to be Russian and have a Mir card, you shouldn't have to worry about anything. :)
