"La revolución cubana se ha hecho con sabor a ron y gusto a azúcar, la nuestra se hará con sabor a vino tinto y empanadas". Salvador Allende y la Revolución Cubana, 1953-1964.

From new political history, this paper analyzes Salvador Allende's reception of the Cuban revolutionary process between 1953 and 1964. About this, until the triumph of the Cuban revolution this process did not occupy a relevant place in the continental political references of the socialist leader. The foregoing changed rapidly after the revolutionary triumph, carrying out an intense process of reaffirmation and deepening of his main definitions regarding the character of the Chilean revolution. In this way, through the analysis of his parliamentary speeches, party documentation, magazines and militant memoirs, it is possible to point out that the Cuban Revolution became an important experience and input for Salvador Allende during the process of formulating his strategic project. On the one hand, to ratify its commitment to the peaceful path and on the other, to develop central elements of its national-popular programmatic proposal with a view to socialism.
