The Malecón

Havana's Malecon is a corner over 8 kilometers long along the coast north of the Cuban city. You can take a walk beside the ocean, from Habana Vieja to the mouth of the river Almendrales. It is an essential visit for tourists, but also of Havana and Havana, setting a steady stream of people. To walk the stretch comprising the boardwalk there is a view of that part of the island. Across the 6-lane avenue, which run the most diverse means of transport (from bicycles to cars taxi Soviets, coco-taxis and horse carts) are majestic pre-revolutionary buildings with a style that permeates the island, and especially Havana.

Best place to head on your first day in Havana. If you meet Adonis and Fidel they are the best musicos out there.
