MThe Malecon is a road in Havana that runs along the sea and connects old Havana to other sections of Havana. Many colonial-style buildings line the street, facing the open sea. The buildings are in various forms of repair — and dis-repair. People come here at all hours of the day and night, to walk along the sea, play music and share good times.

I traveled down the Malecon several times during my stay in Havana, including in a Coco Taxi.  Here are some of my pictures of the Malecon and the sights you can see.
