A green classic car is seen driving on El Malecon
Classic American cars are seen throughout Cuba a throwback to the days before the embargo Before the Cuban revolution there was a strong US presence on the island both culturally and commercially After the revolution trade ceased and the influx of cars stopped With a limited supply of new cars due to embargoes and limited buying power due to the economic situation under communism Cubans have held onto the vintage automobiles by necessity for many decades El Malecón is the avenue that runs along the seawall at the northern shore of Havana from Habana Vieja to the Almendares River The condition of the buildings along the Malecón can vary from modern high rise hotels to crumbling and potentially dangerous buildings During storms waves can be seen crashing over the seawall onto the street as is evident by the wet streets here
