Spain's Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos met with Raul Castro for nearly three hours discussing human rights and repayment of nearly $300 million Cuba owed to Spanish companies that do business in the country.
But he declined to visit dissidents, political activists, independent Cuban journalists or members of Havana-based human rights organizations, a change for Spanish leaders. Madrid and Havana relations were frosty before the trip.
