Cuba, Havana, April 2018, part 1

I have come to Havana from Moscow; for 2 days I was strolling its streets. Havana strikes with its contrasts of architecture, flavours, sounds, and human behaviour. Spain has spent huge efforts to keep this land…
Sunset from the Malecon seafront which is called “the longest bench in the world” El Morro Castle was constructed in 1589, and the lighthouse - in 1845. In the dusk more and more people are gathering at the Malecon. In the darkness the seafront could be rather crowded. Malecon at night The streets of Old Havana near Malecon Havana Capitol is impressive (this is the northern wing) Waiting for the tourists Floridita is one of the favorite bars of Ernest Hemingway This is a true “time machine” - it is over 60 years old, but still looks and runs like a new one… Tree-like streetlight
