The Malec\u00f3n begins in Old Havana with the Castillo de la Real Fuerza\u2014the city\u2019s oldest fortress and one of the very oldest in the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubarealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/clasicc-car-malecon-havana.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1704\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The sea front-drive is then lined with 18th- and 19th-century stately homes, followed by a row of 20th-century buildings, with their unusual combination of styles and profusion of portals, columns, and pilasters that loosely follow classical lines. On its last stretch, bold examples of 1950s modern architecture, such as the Riviera Hotel, emerge, before the road disappears into a tunnel leading to the Miramar district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubarealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/bike-tour-havana.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1701\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But beyond the architectural values of the buildings (many of which are showing the effects of years of neglect and the endless battering of wind and saltwater), its greatest charm lies in being somewhere to stroll or hang out on a stiflingly hot day. It is a place where casting a fishing line may be more important than actually catching a fish; where the breeze joins nostalgic old couples and young lovers. It is Havana\u2019s outdoor lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubarealtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/old-car-havana-malecon.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1700\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Credits: Victoria Alcal\u00e1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Construction of the first stretch of the Malec\u00f3n began on May 6, 1901, with beautiful lampposts placed along the sea wall.
