Cigar-making visit

Santander is tobacco country — Macondo's notes even mention flying over tobacco fields at Las Vueltas. One of the hostel's Instagram stories invites guests to a cigar-making experience: a visit to a local workshop to watch leaves being sorted and rolled, and to get your hands on one.

To be clear: cigars are made at the workshop, not at Macondo. Whether a visit is running while you're in town is a question for WhatsApp.
