Viñales, Cuba

Pictures from my trip to Viñales, Cuba in March 2017. Full of cave exploration, horseback riding and cigar-sampling.

A Flooded Promenade

January 23rd, 2017: Last full day in Cuba during my first trip to the beautiful country.

It was supposed to be a beach day but plans were changed because it started out as a really windy day. Waves began to crash over el Malecón, flooding the road and streets nearby. Paseo de Martí (also known as Paseo del Prado) became flooded and attracted a crowd that was both curious and delighted. Some people walked through the water, some played in it, and many took pictures from afar. It was definitely a beautiful and interesting sight.
