The Malecón is a renowned seaside promenade in Havana, Cuba, stretching approximately 8 kilometers along the coast from the mouth of Havana Harbor in Old Havana to the Vedado neighborhood. Constructed in stages beginning in 1901, the Malecón serves as a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike, offering stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico, especially at sunset. The wide boulevard is flanked by an eclectic mix of historic buildings, many showcasing the colorful, albeit sometimes weathered, architecture that Havana is famous for.
