The Malecon has a long walkway on the edge of bay. The view of the bay in the afternoon is truly romantic. Was a nice quiet walk. We bought some drinks and hung out in Malecon. In Cienfuegos it is allowed to drink in streets! Bonus!! We then walked down a street filled with art and many vendors of many different crafts of Cuba artists. Loved it!
