" broad esplanade, roadway and seawall which stretches for 8 km along the coast in Havana, Cuba, from the mouth of Havana Harbor in Old Havana, along the north side of the Centro Habana neighborhood, ending in the Vedado neighborhood"--from Wikipedia
Note: Bahia de la Habana = Bay of Havana
Some more pictures! Yay for visuals! :{O
Usually, whenever I go to the sea wall, I walk straight down from the residency/hotel I'm currently living in. The streets in Vedado, a large neighborhood inside Havana and my home for these months are listed in letters and numbers so its very easy to find one's way here. On every street corner is a small stone sign that looks like an obelisk. Engraved on theses baby obelisks are the letter and number of the street. I'll take a picture of an example one day.
Blue Skies and deep blue sea along El Malecón.
Sometimes, the waves get rowdy and spill over the sea wall. I've never seen any huge waves as of yet but this does happen when ever the ocean gets stormy.
Who that car looks like its from the 50s. Is that how it is for most things?
ResponderBorrarYeah, girl! There is a hodgepodge of cars. The classic 50's and 60s are mostly American cars that were here before the embargo. Yes they still work but most of the engines are replaced. There are also a lot of 70s/80s Russian cars from when the Soviet Union was Cuba's economic supporter. What I find most striking are the new, fancier cars from the 2000s--not that many but they pop up here and there. :) But yeah, my biggest fear is crossing the street and getting mowed over because drivers here don't stop for anything!
