I think I found some info to help answer to my own question re: European routes to Cuba. Using the Hamburg passenger database on Ancestry.com, I put in a first name, such as Jose, and the arrival port of Cuba (Kuba in German). The following three primary routes came up:
1. Departure from Dover, Eng., then stops at Le Havre, France;
Coruna and Vigo, Spain; Cuba, and arrival in Mexico.
2. Departure from Southhampton, Eng., then stops at Le Havre;
Santander and Coruna, Spain; Cuba, Mexico.
3. Le Havre, Coruna, Cuba
I assume the port in Cuba was Havana, but I did not see listed what the port was in Mexico.
These routes were for 1890-1913 because that is what has been name indexed so far. Unfortunately, the immigrant that I am researching apparently came to Cuba in late 1879. I will likley have to wait until more records have been indexed. I tried the handwritten records that go back much earlier, but they can only be broused by alpha first letter of the surname. Plus I did not see any ages given or arrival ports in these records so I don't think a confirmation of a specific person is possible.
