I was in Tuxpan, Mexico less than 10 years ago and toured the compound where Castro, Che and their group lived and plotted to overthrow Batista.
Wish I could find my pictures as the walls were covered with photos of them. They departed for Cuba in in 1956 along with 80 others in a cabin cruiser called the Granma.
Tuxpan is halfway between Tampico and Veracruz.
This link has pictures taken by SOMEONE ELSE, wish there were more there.

Interesting
.
I had a college friend whose parents lived in Havana - Oil company exec I think
We drove south when spring break hit and he fly to Cuba just in time to encounter Castro’s goons at road blocks
He had several close shaves as Gringos were not welcomed by the goons
.
Now the US Congress has these Commie goons running hearings
