Hello friends of hive I consider that I was late to make a publication, in our community. One of my passions is to walk my Havana every now and then, to walk through its corners because I revitalize, I help with the walks to improve my health and I learn at the same time of each one of its existence.
Our summer this year is intense but that does not stop us from walking our Havana, walking these streets that each one has a history, like our Calle Picota.
It is one of the longest streets and with more intersections, because it begins from Port Avenue to Luz Street, many know it but not everyone remembers that it is called this way because at its intersection with Jesus Maria Street was located in ancient times a stake or pillory as it was known where prisoners were tied and whipped, then moved to the old square but while it was the place of punishment.
While I'm walking them I see that we continue to have graffiti, which remain a controversy if it is art for some or social indisiplinas for others, I only know that decorate our walls with great harmony.
But it turns out that the street picota to have several intersections also had some particular names like the corner "del Malparido", history that I invite you to look for. As contradictions of life had however very close to these prisoners the Church and the convent of Bethlehem, which gave its date palms, these fruits to the street.
always arriving at our square with its pigeons, and next to it our sun is getting hotter and hotter.
We all know that our historical center is a part of our Havana that all Cubans presume because in it are the footprints of our historian Eusebio Leal.
And I come to my walk remembering that we are in the final of baseball, and the industrialists deserve a representation in a post of hive so I directed my steps to the lions of the padro.a refresh under the shade of their trees and comtemplar as our padro is embellished with new cnstruccioes where modern architecture converge with our our our old buildings creating new structures of beauty and harmony without equal.
Enjoying Havana, for me is something vital, it fills me with life, despite being exhausting, it is enjoyable because in every step I take I see its changes, I receive a breath of air that encourages me to continue with the day to day, and to recognize the authentic elements, such as those exhibited by its creators in this area, which embellish the walk.
So after a long walk, the afternoon is falling so I head to my final destination but I give myself a moment of rest with a refreshing drink, well to the Cuban a rich sangria, with my goal of the day fulfilled a colossal walk and a better quality of life because walking is health and know and recognize your place, your homeland is important to increase your memories because there will come a time that you can only live from them so I invite you to not stop admiring your Havana, our Havana with its flaws and virtues is still beautiful.
