Why locals recommend it

The best place to view the sunset is at the corner of the Malecón y Paseo. This place is perfect for being alone with your thoughts. Go for a walk. Feel the breeze. Lie down on the Malecón. Some have been known to bring their guitars. We live on an island. Being on the waterfront opens your horizons. If the Malecón is wet, quickly move to the side; when the tide rolls in, it comes in fast.

Malecón habanero is located in Havana. It comprises a wide six-lane avenue and a very long wall that extends over the entire north coast of the Cuban capital for 8 kilometers. Important monuments stand along the avenue, such as that of Generalissimo Máximo Gómez, that of Major General Antonio Maceo and that of General Calixto García, in addition to important avenues in the capital that end at the boardwalk such as Calle 23, Avenida of the Presidents and Paseo Avenue. Other representative buildings and monuments of the capital also line the entire length of Malecón avenue, such as the Castillo de la Real Fuerza de La Habana, the Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta, the Torreón de San Lázaro, the entrance to the Tunel de La Havana, the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, the US embassy, ​​the Torreón de la Chorrera and the Malecón 17 "Las Cariátides" building, formerly the Unión Club, designed and built in 1924 by the renowned firm of architects Govantes and Cabarrocas, later rehabilitated to house the Cultural Center of Spain in Havana in 1998 by the Architect Miguel Viera Medal. Seven thousand meters of a wide cement wall make the Havana boardwalk the most visited meeting place in the Cuban capital. Its main function, in addition to being a strategic work to stop the water, is to be a center of tourist and local attention. The inhabitants of the island who are closest to this structure often spend the nights and early mornings waiting for the sunrise, having drinks and singing with guitars under the stars. The Havana boardwalk, since its construction, has become a sign of the island, identifying it anywhere in the world.

The Malecón is also a great place to meet the locals. Anglers come here to cast their lines, and families and young couples saunter along the seafront enjoying the fresh air and ocean breezes
