HAVANA Returning to Havana we were once again surrounded by color, church bells and music!
Our last two nights in Cuba we spent in El Vedado, a central business district and urban
neighborhood bordered on the east by Central Havana, and the west by the Miramar
Playa (beach) district. Vedado is a modern part of Havana developed in the first half of
the 20th century, during the Republic period.
In the northern section is the 5-mile waterfront seawall known as the Malecon, a famous
and popular roadway for social gatherings in the city. We walked the Malecon at sunset
taking in beautiful views. The locals fished off the seawall, classic cars cruised by on the
road lined with restaurants.
