Tropicana had been created by a man who’d dedicated his entire life to that place. That he personally tended to every plant, every flower, every corner of that paradise. He’d go every day and if a plant was sick, he’d personally nurse it back, etc. The story of Martín’s utter dedication somehow convinced [Raúl Castro] that Tropicana should be preserved for the future and that the Cuban government would never regret it.
