Old Havana Car - HFU 009

I like these old cars, it seems that you can find these "rolling-wrecks" all over the place. Don't ask about the pollution - it's like another world. If they start the engine or just accelerate a little bit the sky is dark blue. The oil must be pretty cheap ;-)

Enjoy it ;-)

The 28. September is over .....

The Cuban people celebrate the annivesary of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) in Old Havana on September 28. The visitors are gone ... but the chair is still there ....

By the way, the CDRs are assigned to every block of houses in Cuba to take care of medical assistance if needed and guarding neighbourhoods by controlling people's movements and activities.

Kind regards,

Strawberry and Chocolate

Another beautiful and famous staircase in Centro Habana that leads you to the place where the film “Strawberry and Chocolate” (Spanish: Fresa y Chocolate) was made.

The award winning film “Strawberry and Chocolate” is a Cuban-Spanish-Mexican co-produced film, directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabío, based on the short story "The Wolf, The Forest and the New Man" written by Senel Paz in 1990. Senel Paz also wrote the screenplay for the film.

By the way, the staircase will lead you to a fantastic restaurant “Paladar La Guarida”. So if you stay in Havana that’s the place to go out for dinner ;-)

Enjoy it !

The old Havana Staircase

The old Havana’s staircases are amazing. The high walls are normally covered with dozen of layers of various colors and the walls as well as the concrete are marked by life. Each staircase has its own secret and sometimes some names, love stories or political shibboleths can be deciphered.

This is José who lives in a 1 ½ bedroom apartment in the heart of Habana Vieja. He always sits in front of his apartment (because his apartment has now window) and loves to talk with the people who are passing by.

José’s apartment is well organized and he cleans the apartment and the entrance every morning.


José's TV-Chair:

Well, José Refrigerator offers you not a lot but he has cold water and some left over food from the day before.
