Description: Walk the Malecon...a boardwalk that runs all the way through Havana. Start in Old Havana, downtown, and follow the sea to the Hotel Nacional. You'll pass the Revolution Square where organized demonstrations (always supporting the government, of course) are held and you will experience the major past time of Cubanos who linger along the sea wall talking, kissing, visiting. The path is flat. The sea comes crashing in along the wall. On a strong day you could get wet. When you see the Hotel Nacional, a huge yellow structure on top of the hill, visit for refreshments on the patio bar. You can order food, observe the peacocks strolling on the grounds, or people-watch. Lots of business is conducted here.
