A Tour of Havana

If you ask any Habanero (resident of Havana) to identify the heart of the city, the unhesitating response will be “La Rampa.” This bit of street in Vedado, stretching 500 metres down 23rd Avenue from the Coppelia Ice Cream Park to the sea, is the most central and bustling part of the capital. It’s the ideal place for a walk, a romantic date, a work meeting, for distraction… and so, during the last 60 years La Rampa has become, along with the Malecón (seawall), the most cosmopolitan part of the metropolis.
