The Malecón in Havana traces its history back to the early 20th century when it was initially built to protect the city from the sea. Over time, it evolved into a beloved promenade stretching 8 kilometers along the coastline, becoming a cultural icon of Havana. The Malecón has witnessed significant historical moments, from political gatherings to cultural celebrations, and serves as a social hub where Cubans gather to relax, fish, socialize, and enjoy the sunset. Today, it remains a symbol of resilience and community, embodying Havana's vibrant spirit and offering breathtaking views of the sea that define the city's character.
