Cuba Trip: Part 2 - Havana - Old Havana
On the second day of our visit we went exploring Old Havana / La Habana Vieja. This area is in better shape than Central Havana, some parts are completely renovated. There are significantly more tourists on the streets and plazas sightseeing, having their meals in numerous restaurants, enjoying live cuban and salsa music which could be heard everywhere.
Lovely Old Square / Plaza Vieja where we enjoyed coffee with ice-cream at Cafe El Escorial
Palacio de los Capitanes
Convent of San Francisco de Asis
