Havana at night looks better

The 500th anniversary of the capital of Cuba will soon be celebrated. It is a city with an impressive urban heritage. In it you can see different architectural styles that attest to the passage of different generations of Cubans and their ways of building.

Havana usually shows an exhausted, aged and dirty face. The passage of time, the lack of resources, the violation of its urban regulations and the poor management of the government have left a deep dent in the landscape of the total city.

When the sun goes down, tired Havana gathers itself and the sea air discharges a luminous magic on it. The city is renewed andshines again in the silence of its empty streets, while the rows of golden streetlights disappear into the horizon.

Most cities in the world exhibit different modes of behavior of their citizens depending on the time of day. SomePlaces that are very busy in the mornings become deserted when night comes., or vice versa.

Havana has many examples of this type, places where the nightshows us a different urban landscape, an unknown face of the city. That face, which we are not used to, is also worth discovering.

Havana used to be a city with a pretty hectic nightlife., but with time and restrictions of all kinds,this reality changed. A small group of people, most of them tourists, are currently enjoying the Havana nightlife.

There is an old saying that says “at night all cats are black.” Popular wisdom is right. However, although we know thatthe cloak of night hides the wounds of the ancient city, it is impossible to stoprevere the magic of Havana under the moonlight.
