Part 24 An evening walk.

We went for a long walk along the Malecon, the full 7 kilometers. There were all sorts of people out and about, families, fishermen, groups of young and old alike. Everyone was just meandering along the seaside promenade and enjoying the warm weather. Most of the buildings are apartments that are in various stages of repair, but every now and then you come across something new and amazing, like this modern looking restaurant tucked in between two decrepit buildings.

Before we knew it we had wandered all the way to the Castillo del Morro. It was built in 1589 to protect the bay from invaders and it's pretty impressive even today. By the time we got to this end of the city we were exhausted, so we hailed the wonderful Coco Taxi and headed back for our last night in Havana.
