Cuba: Havana: Malecon, The City Coastal Road

Malecon was the road near the sea connected the old city with the newer district. It was one of the main road in Havana.
I walked the road several time when I went to the old historic area from Vedado where I stayed.
I walked home in the middle of the night after on the way home from Casa de La Musica in the Centro, chose this road since it was bright enough to feel safe walking.
