There is a Club Cubano in Guachipelin, Escazu, that is about 1km in from the 310 exit. The woman who runs the place is a Cuban, she is always hosting lots of different kinds of events, and the food is not bad either. She would probably be a great contact for you. Their phone number is (2) 215-2001.
There is also a great Cuban restaurant in Plaza Itzkazu called La Guagua. I am informed that it is Cuban owned, so I am sure you could make friends there.
As well, my Costa Rican attorney, Yohanka Gonzalez, happens to be an immigrant to Costa Rica, from Cuba, and I recommend her to provide you with any legal advice or services you might need here as well. Her number is (8) 818-0727.
There is most definitely a Cuban community here, you just need to tap into it.
Good Luck!

How about this as an advantage to being a perpetual tourist — You don’t have to put up a minimum $60,000 5 year deposit (for non-pensionados)? And I understand they are talking about increasing that amount to include a spouse and any children.
Speaking of which, would anybody know if I decided to be a perpetual tourist if I would be able to enroll my child in school in CR?
