The Nobel-prize winning author resided in this Spanish Colonial style home from 1931 until his death in 1961. He wrote many of his classics here including 'To Have and Have Not', 'Death in the Afternoon', 'For Whom the Bell Tolls', 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro' and 'A Farewell to Arms', among others. Fans of Hemingway's work will enjoy walking through the house and gardens to see "Papa's" home and workplace. One of the peculiar features of the Hemingway home are the famous six-toed cats that inhabit the house. Most are direct descendants of the 50 cats that inhabited the house when Hemingway lived here and can be easily recognized by their oversized paws (each with an extra digit). Visitors can tour the house independently or choose to take the guided and somewhat amusingly narrated tour, which lasts about 30 minutes.
