Malecon Embankment

The word "melecon" is translated from Spanish as "quay". This is the central city street where locals like to walk and meet. Her project was developed in 1875, but the work was finally completed in 1926. The purpose of the construction was to protect the city from the waves of the ocean. It stretches for 8 kilometers along the ocean, connecting the Havana quarters. The infrastructure here is very developed: cafes, restaurants, shops, hotels. It's always crowded. There are also monuments related to the history of Cuba - a monument to General Calixto Garcia, the National Hospital, the Presidential Palace, a monument in memory of the sailors of the cruiser Maine, an anti-imperialist tribune and others. A great pleasure will be a walk along the embankment on a retro convertible. The situation is romantic, you can meet many tourists. Meet the amazing Cuban sunsets. It is worth visiting local carnivals in February. It's a real celebration and fun! You can get there by car from the airport, excursion buses, but the greatest pleasure is walking. From other cities, you can get here by water by cruise liner.
