Amusing anecdotes pepper the guided tours of Ernest Hemingway's home. While living here between 1931 and 1942, Hemingway wrote about 70% of his life's work, including classics like For Whom the Bell Tolls. Few of his belongings remain, and there's little about his actual work, but photographs help you visualize his day-to-day life. The supposed descendants of Hemingway's cats—many named for actors, artists, and authors—have free rein of the property. Tours begin every 10 minutes and take 25-30 minutes; then you're free to explore on your own.
