Sunset on the Malecón
As you know, I read the guide. And the guide said to take a stroll down the malecón at sunset, so we did.
First of all, the malecón – a walkway along the sea – was started in 1901 and is really, really long. 8kms. Which wasn’t mentioned with enough emphasis in the guide.
Second of all, the seawall is too low. This means that the sidewalk on the sea side is constantly covered in algae, seaweed and the waves that crash over the wall shower unsuspecting tourists.
Third of all, it is maybe one of the most beautiful and breath taking places in Havana.
(for a few other photos of the malecón, click here to see my very long post on Havana, before I discovered that short posts are better :D)
Together with Nicole Duplaix, Chair of the IUCN-SSC Otter Specialist Group , I wrote a book all about otters and how wonderful they are. Check it out We Love Otters
