Let’s take a walking tour of Old Havana, where you will submerge in Cuban history and architecture, get an honest answer to every question and hear stories known by just a chosen few.

Passing by the Granma Memorial and the former Presidential Palace, we get to the Hill of the Angel, which gave its name to a XIX century novel.
