The Malecon in Havana at Sunset. Enjoyed by all the locals to get away from the heat in the town. They come to enjoy the sea breeze, drink rum, chat and enjoy the view. Construction of the Malecón began in 1901, during temporary U.S. military rule and stretches for 8 km (5 miles) along the coast in Havana, Cuba,[1] from the mouth of Havana Harbor in Old Havana, along the north side of the Centro Habana neighborhood, ending in the Vedado neighborhood.
The Bacardi Building in Havana is located at Avenida de Bélgica No. 261 between Empedrado y San Juan de Dios, in Old Havana. The building was designed by architects Rafael Fernández Ruenes, Esteban Rodríguez Castell and José Menéndez, for the Bacardi rum company. The art deco landmark was completed in 1930 and was at the time the largest building in the city.[1] After the Cuban revolution and the departure of Bacardi from Cuba, the building continued to be used for offices. At the end of the 1990s it was renovated by the city historian's office.
