Nº 01
The Malecón at sunset
Sit on the sea wall. A small rum, a salty breeze, someone playing trombone two metres away.

Havana
Peeling façades, boleros and a city that keeps itself whole.
Inside the city
What changes once you arrive.
Havana is like nowhere else. Light falls slantwise on aquamarine and salmon façades, a '55 Chevrolet rolls quietly down the Prado, a neighbour hangs laundry on a balcony that breathes history. Cuba has a tempo of its own, and Havana sets it.
We came to listen. Boleros at La Bodeguita, jazz at Fábrica de Arte, a young trio in a Vedado courtyard. We came to walk slowly through Old Havana, to read on the Malecón at sunset, to dine at a family paladar with vinyl playing. You leave different from how you arrived.
Moments
Three reasons to return.
Nº 02
A paladar in Vedado
A private home, three tables, ropa vieja the way grandmother makes it, boleros in the background. Book the day before.
Nº 03
Fábrica de Arte Cubano
Gallery, cinema, terrace and DJ, all in one building. Go on a Friday. Leave at dawn.
