For more than twenty years, the Nobel prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway had a house in Cuba. Movie stars, such as Gary Cooper and Ava Gardner, were regular guests at Finca Vigia, his large country-house overlooking Havana. As a young boy, Alberto Ramos worked for Hemingway at the Finca, and later became his cook. He speaks to Witness about his memories of the hard-drinking author.
