English Version The Castle of Santo Domingo de Atarés is one of the old fortifications that was part of the defensive system of the city of Havana several centuries ago. It was built with the objective of guarding the Cuban coasts and protecting the entrance of the bay. After Havana was invaded by the English in the 16th century, the government o

English Version It happens to me a lot that when I walk through Old Havana I entertain myself mainly by taking photographs of almost everything. Sometimes they are several of the same place, and I have a bit of an obsession with almost always taking photos of the same sites, because for me they are some of the most beautiful, spacious, and full o

English Version Old Havana is the oldest part of the capital. It was one of the first towns of Cuba, built in that area because of the advantage of its natural port and the geographical and strategic location it offered. Since then time has continued its course, and although hundreds of years have passed, many times it seems to me, when walking t

English Version By itself, the view of the sea that stretches behind the Havana Malecón, that wall built to contain it, and which on more than one occasion has served little purpose, since nature does not understand walls or blocks, is a beautiful landscape. The warmth of Cuban waters is tinted with beautiful blues that range from bright turquois

English Version Sometimes when I feel that my mind needs a break or that I need to disconnect from the routine of the days, I treat myself to a walk around the city. I'm not a big fan of walking, I admit it. I get tired quickly and sometimes I feel a bit lazy just thinking about going out. But there's something special about those walks that conv

English Version Due to its geographical characteristics, Havana Bay was chosen as the site for the city's first port, around which the old and first Villa of San Cristobal of La Habana began to grow, making it a strategic point for the development of the nascent city. This wide inlet surrounded by land on both sides is not only an ideal location

English Version What I like most about walking along the coastline in the Playa district of Havana is the contrast between two opposites that, although different, still form a balance: the firm and the fluid, the stable and the changeable: The land and the sea. When I walk along this coastal area, I always encounter two very different landscapes,

English Version When pirate and corsair assaults were common on the island of Cuba, one of the most precious jewels of the Spanish crown, and the country lived under the threat of plunder and fear, the Spanish authorities decided to establish a robust defence system to protect the riches of the conquered New World. Thus, several fortifications we

English Version The interesting thing about exploring is the desire to discover new things, to be surprised and to connect with what surrounds us, and that curiosity accompanies us in any environment we travel through. For me, for example, I love discovering corners of my city that I have never been to before, or rediscovering places that have be

English Version Under the sun of Havana, alongside the sound of the cars and the rhythm of the city that never ceases, there exists a corner that resists the change of the urban life and its accelerated pace, The Metropolitan Park, located almost on the border between two municipalities, this green space is a piece of the ancient natural forest t

From the heights, the view of what surrounds us changes completely. From above, the city we are passing through looks completely different, the perspective changes and what once seemed huge to us now looks small and at eye level. Buildings, trees and cars look like small pieces in a moving model. This could also be a philosophy to apply in life,

English version In the vicinity of the Capitol of Havana, and very close to the Parque de la Fraternidad, there is a somewhat atypical construction within the colonial environment that surrounds it, with a design that is different from anything else that can be seen in its surroundings, and this singularity is precisely what makes it stand out in
