Walking near the Fortress of San Salvador de la Punta, on Havana's Malecon [en/es]
Hello friends of the Wednesday Walk! Today I want to take you to a special corner of Havana that I love, the Malecón Habanero. On this occasion, I decided to explore the area near the Punta, as we Cubans call the narrowest part of the Bay of Havana because in that area is located the Fortress of San Salvador de la Punta. It was a walk I took with my son, who despite the fact that the day was a bit cloudy, wanted to capture some photos by the sea. I was very happy that he asked me to accompany him, since photography is one of his passions that he had left a little aside due to the distance with his wife.
¡Hola amigos del Paseo de los Miércoles! Hoy quiero llevaros a un rincón especial de La Habana que me encanta, el Malecón Habanero. En esta ocasión, decidí explorar la zona cercana a la Punta, como llamamos los cubanos a la parte más estrecha de la Bahía de La Habana porque en esa zona se encuentra la Fortaleza de San Salvador de la Punta. Fue un paseo que hice con mi hijo, quien a pesar de que el día estaba un poco nublado, quería capturar algunas fotos junto al mar. Me alegró mucho que me pidiera que lo acompañara, ya que la fotografía es una de sus pasiones que había dejado un poco de lado por la distancia con su esposa.
The Fortress of San Salvador de la Punta is a fortress located at the entrance of the bay for several centuries. It was built in the sixteenth century to protect the city from the attacks of corsairs and pirates, has more than 400 years of history and with its imposing architecture is one of the symbols of Havana, along with the Morro and the Castillo de la Real Fuerza. It currently has a museum inside, which I have visited on other occasions but on this tour I was only in the surroundings. Next to the fortress there is a park that serves as a resting place for walkers and admirers of the sea. There are cannons, statues and a circular artistic structure.
La Fortaleza de San Salvador de la Punta es una fortaleza se encuentra en la entrada de la bahía desde hace varios siglos. Fue construida en el siglo XVI para proteger la ciudad de los ataques de corsarios y piratas, tiene más de 400 años de historia y con su imponente arquitectura es uno de los símbolos de La Habana, junto con el Morro y el Castillo de la Real Fuerza. Actualmente tiene un museo en su interior, que he visitado en otras ocasiones pero en este paseo solo estuve por los alrededores. Junto a la fortaleza hay un parque que sirve de lugar de descanso para paseantes y admiradores del mar. Hay cañones, estatuas y una estructura artística circular.
From this ancient castle there are wonderful views. My eyes fell on one of the most modern hotels in the city, Hotel El Prado, located to the right of the Punta, on the other side of the avenue that runs along the Havana coastline. However, if we turn our gaze to the other side of the sea, right in front of the castle, we find the majestic Morro de La Habana.
Desde este antiguo castillo hay unas vistas maravillosas. En mis ojos se posaron en uno de los hoteles más modernos de la ciudad, Hotel El Prado, situado a la derecha de la Punta, al otro lado de la avenida que recorre el litoral habanero. Sin embargo, si desviamos la mirada hacia el otro lado del mar, justo enfrente del castillo, encontramos el majestuoso Morro de La Habana.
After enjoying the views from the Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta, we decided to continue our walk along the wall of the Malecón Habanero. I took some pictures of the avenue that borders the long promenade, where you can see the beautiful lampposts.
Después de disfrutar de las vistas desde el Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta, decidimos seguir nuestro camino bordeando el muro del Malecón Habanero. Le tome algunas fotos de la avenida que bordea el largo paseo marítimo, donde se observan las bonitas farolas.
Later a gentle rain began to fall and the sea roared loudly, seeming to challenge the walls of the seawall again and again, claiming its space. At this time of the year, the sea becomes unsettling, as if it were angry. Despite the rain and the imposing waves, people were still strolling along the boardwalk as if nothing, and next to the wall, some fishermen were gathered with nylon in position, patiently waiting for some desperate fish to take their bait.
Más tarde empezó una suave lluvia y el mar rugía con fuerza, parecía desafiar una y otra vez los muros del malecón, reclamando su espacio. En esta época del año, el mar se vuelve inquietante, como si estuviera enfadado. A pesar de la lluvia y las imponentes olas, la gente seguía paseando por el malecón como si nada, y junto al muro, algunos pescadores estaban reunidos con el nylon en posición, esperando pacientemente a que algún pez desesperado mordiera su anzuelo.
When my son finished taking his pictures, we headed back home. I really enjoyed this little tour of the Havana coastline and took the opportunity to join @tattoodjay's #wednesdaywalk challenge. I leave here a picture of my son taking the photos haha, I think I'll post them at some point because he takes very nice pictures.
See you on the next adventure! 👍👋❤️
Cuando mi hijo terminó de hacer sus fotos, volvimos a casa. Disfruté mucho de este pequeño recorrido por el litoral habanero y aproveché para unirme al reto #wednesdaywalk de @tattoodjay. Dejo aquí una foto de mi hijo haciendo las fotos jaja, pienso que en algun instante las publique pues hace muy bonitas fotos.
¡Nos vemos en la próxima aventura! 👍👋❤️
Las fotos fueron tomadas con mi teléfono Xiaomi Note 11
