Callejon de Hamel Havana

Callejón de Hamel
San Lazaro # 955
E/ Aramburu y Hospital
Centro Habana

This project, dating back to 1990, highlights the prevalence of African influences on Cuban culture. It was initiated by the sculptor and painter Salvador Gonzáles who, together with a group of friends, decided to paint a mural celebrating Afro-Cuban culture, reclaiming a public space as a forum for what they see as both a cultural example of community-based art. A rumba group gathers at the spot at noon every Sunday at 12:00, and musicians as important as Clave y Guaguancó and Los Muñequitos de Matanzas have been known to attend.

The last Friday of each month is Ballad Night, with poetry and traditional music. One Saturday per month is dedicated to children's entertainment, and puppet shows, comic theatre and clowns abound.
Disabled access is available.

El Malecón

El Malecón
E
ven though it begins in Old Havana, the Malecón (the pier) is an area that was the face of Havana in the 50s. Havana was then trying to emulate the great American capitals. The pier wall is the ideal place to enjoy the salty sea air, sit down and admire the sunset. Some of its best spots are the view of El Morro, the dock where you can go by boat to Casablanca and the area adjacent to El Vedado.
Disabled access is available.

Centro Habana
La Habana

Havana has an active Chinese community and a number of Chinese restaurants. A lot of Chinese restaurants can be found in Centro Havana at 10 Cuchillo Street. The strip contains 10 restaurants that serve a full spectrum of Chinese dishes.

The food in the restaurants in Chinatown is excellent in both quality and price.These restaurants are private family owned businesses, unlike most restaurants in Cuba that are government controlled. This results in a much greater concern to serve the customer. Meals are served within minutes of ordering and great attention is given to the preparation of the food.

You can enjoy an entire meal (with the exception of the more exotic dishes), including soup, fried rice, a main dish and a drink for no more than 4 cuc. Disabled access is available.
Average cost per person: 5.00 cuc 10
Address: Calle Cuchillo, Centro Habana, La Habana.
