Seafront Promenade [EN/ES]
English Version
The Seafront Promenade of 1st and 70, in Havana, within the coastal municipality of Playa, is a very well-known place and recommended for sea lovers. It is the perfect spot for a quiet stroll, a relaxed walk, or simply to sit and contemplate the horizon. Here one enjoys both the pink and orange of the sky at sunrise and the golden tones that color the sea at sunset.
Before becoming the promenade we know today, this area was a small stretch of coast with some concrete benches, the sidewalk that bordered the sea, and several platforms that gave direct access to the water, which still exist. It was the place where families and nearby neighbors used to gather on weekends to enjoy the beach. I myself visited it in other times and remember that it was always a busy site, where parents brought their small children so they could take a fun dip. Over the years the area gradually changed, and new establishments, bars, and restaurants began to appear, and the whole environment improved and gained even more life.
Nowadays the restaurants and bars found here are private, and although their prices tend to be high, the place gets quite full, especially at night. There is also a small amusement park for children, and to shelter from the sun several umbrellas have been installed very close to the beach, which makes the promenade more comfortable for those who seek to rest.
Another detail that adds value to the place is the large number of hotels that have been built nearby. Right in front of the promenade rise two of the most modern and grand hotels recently built, the Marealta and the Grand Muthu. There is also the Panorama, an older but equally attractive hotel, which also integrates with the view and the atmosphere of the surroundings. From any of these hotels, the panorama of the sea and the nearby coast must be an unforgettable experience for those who stay there.
Walking along the promenade of 1st and 70 is to feel the breeze, listen to the sound of the waves, and spend a relaxed and peaceful moment. This is one of those corners that always makes you want to return.
I hope you have enjoyed the tour.
Cheers, and until next time!

El Paseo Marítimo de 1ra y 70, en La Habana, dentro del municipio costero del municipio Playa, es un lugar muy reconocido y recomendable para los amantes del mar. Es el sitio perfecto para un paseo tranquilo, una caminata relajada o simplemente para sentarse a contemplar el horizonte. Aquí se disfruta tanto del rosado y el naranja del cielo al amanecer como de los tonos dorados que colorean al mar en los atardeceres.
Antes de convertirse en el paseo que conocemos hoy esta zona era un pequeño tramo de costa con algunos bancos de concreto, la acera que bordeaba el mar y varias plataformas que daban acceso directo al agua, las que aun existen. Era el lugar donde las familias y vecinos cercanos solían reunirse los fines de semana para disfrutar de la playa. Yo mismo lo visité en otros tiempos y recuerdo que siempre fue un sitio concurrido, donde los padres llevaban a sus hijos pequeños para que se dieran un chapuzón divertido. Con el paso de los años la zona fue cambiando poco a poco y comenzaron a aparecer nuevos locales, bares y restaurantes, y todo el entorno fue mejorando y ganando aun mas vida.
Hoy en día los restaurantes y bares que se encuentran aquí son privados y aunque sus precios suelen ser elevados, el lugar se llena bastante, sobre todo en las noches. También hay un pequeño parque de atracciones para los niños y para resguardarse del sol se han instalado varias sombrillas muy cerca de la playa, lo que hace más cómodo el paseo para quienes buscan descansar.
Otro detalle que le aporta valor al lugar es la gran cantidad de hoteles que se han construido en las cercanías. Justo frente al paseo se levantan dos de los más modernos y grandiosos hoteles construidos recientemente, el Marealta y el Grand Muthu. También se encuentra el Panorama, un hotel más antiguo pero igualmente atractivo, que igual se integra con la vista y el ambiente de los alrededores. Desde cualquiera de estos hoteles, la panorámica del mar y de la costa cercana debe ser una experiencia inolvidable para quienes se hospedan allí.
Caminar por el paso de 1ra y 70 es sentir la brisa, escuchar el sonido de las olas y pasar un momento relajado y tranquilo. Este es uno de esos rincones que siempre provoca regresar.
Espero que hayan disfrutado del recorrido.
Un Saludo, y hasta la próxima!
