November 13, 2023 in Cuba ⋅ 🌬 29 °C
Hier besuchen wir nun zuerst die Stützmauer ‚Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña’. Viel Militär… Von der Mauer aus hat man ein tolles Panorama auf die Stadt.

Wir laufen weiter, an alten sowjetischen Kriegsmaschinen vorbei, bis zum Haus, in dem Che Guevara gewohnt hat, direkt neben der grossen ‚Cristo de la Habana‘-Statur.

Direkt unten an ist eine süsse, kleine Bar, wo wir unseren Durst löschen.

Dann laufen wir Richtung Bucht zur
alten Kolonialfestungen ‚Castillo Tres Reyes del Moro’. Diese Burg und Mauer wurden ursprünglich von den Kolonialisten zum Schutz vor Piraten gebaut.

Um 13 Uhr wartet unser Taxi und bringt uns zurück nach Havanna Vieja.

Wir schlendern noch ein wenig durch die Strassen, bevor wir uns im Casa frisch machen. Abends gehen wir ins ‚el Louvre‘ und essen Fettuccine.

Nice to know: wir merken, dass einige der Gerichte, aufgrund der wirtschaftlichen Situation, (z.B. Poulet, Pizza) nicht verfügbar sind…Read more

Day 3
Fortaleza de la Cabana
October 8, 2017 in Cuba ⋅ 🌙 27 °C
We had a bit of free time to explore in the late afternoon, and dinner was on our own. We dined in an upstairs apartment whose main room had been converted to a small eatery. I had another lobster for dinner - they're cheap here!

After dinner, we piled into the bus and went to the Fortaleza de la Cabana to witness the firing of a cannon, a nightly event taking place at 9pm. During colonial times, the cannon was fired to notify residents to stay within the city walls.

The fort was huge; much larger than the ones I had visited in Cartagena and in San Juan. I wished we had visited during the day and that I had been able to explore it on my own terms.

The ceremony was performed by colonial enactors. It was interesting to see that locals were out in force, and not just tourists. Sadly, most of the photos I took did not turn out well. This was a pity as we had good nighttime views of the harbor.
