Google opened Cuba's first-ever free, high speed Internet connection at a new technology centre in west Havana.
Stocked with 20 Chromebooks, the technology centre is housed in the studio of Alexis 'K'cho' Leyva, known for his plastic art and sculpture.
The centre also contains 100 Google Cardboard virtual reality visors and two cameras capable of transmitting video from a YouTube channel.
Open five days a week, through midnight, the centre can house up to 40 people at a time but Cuban Dayron Manresa said he hopes availability will spread throughout the country of over 11 million.
"I wish this experience weren't just here but throughout the country so that it's not just two or three people enjoying it but that someday, we can wake up and have it as a common occurrence, that it would be normal to connect, search and find out about things as it is in other country."
