Good morning friends , I can't help but join the #wednesdaywalk challenge that @tattoodjay promotes every week because I love walking around my Havana . A few days ago I went to the Boulevard to buy yarn and some little things and that's where these images came from.

Buenos días amigos , no puedo evitar unirme al reto #wednesdaywalk que promueve @tattoodjay cada semana porque me encanta pasear por mi Habana . Hace unos días fui al Boulevard a comprar hilo y algunas cositas y de ahí salieron estas imágenes.

The Boulevard Habanero, is located on San Rafael street, from Prado to Galiano and is a very busy street, although it has declined a lot and does not enjoy all its splendor of years ago is still a place where many habaneros go for the different shopping centers it has.

El Boulevard Habanero, se encuentra en la calle San Rafael, desde Prado hasta Galiano y es una calle muy transitada, aunque ha decaído mucho y no goza de todo su esplendor de hace años sigue siendo un lugar donde van muchos habaneros por los diferentes centros comerciales que tiene.

I went there because I needed to do some shopping, I was a little sad to see that it is no longer what it was, but I still appreciate everything it treasures and I want to show it to you.
When you look along this street you can see the old buildings that have a dazzling architecture, it is a mix of modernism and antiquity.

Yo fui porque necesitaba hacer algunas compras, me dio un poco de tristeza ver que ya no es lo que era, pero sigo apreciando todo lo que atesora y quiero mostrárselos.
Cuando miras a lo largo de esta calle puedes ver los edificios antiguos que tienen una arquitectura deslumbrante, es una mezcla de modernismo y antigüedad.

This boulevard was created in the 19th century, so it is more than 100 years old, those who frequent it, walk from one place to another through its streets without worry, you just have to be careful at the corners because the streets that cross it if they are traveled by cars.

Este bulevar fue creado en el siglo XIX, por lo que tiene más de 100 años, quienes lo frecuentan, caminan de un lugar a otro por sus calles sin preocupación, solo hay que tener cuidado en las esquinas porque las calles que lo cruzan si son transitadas por automóviles.

The first store that opened was called Boulevard, which years later became Ten Cents and was located where the famous Trasval store is now, across the street there is a large park called Fe del Valle and its name is associated with a worker of the store El Encanto where a fire occurred and she lost her life, in her place they made this park, which always invites you to rest on its comfortable benches.

La primera tienda que abrió se llamaba Boulevard, que años después se convirtió en el Ten Cents y estaba ubicada donde ahora está la famosa tienda Trasval, cruzando la calle hay un gran parque que se llama Fe del Valle y su nombre está asociado a una trabajadora de la tienda El Encanto donde ocurrió un incendio y perdió la vida, en su lugar hicieron este parque, que siempre invita a descansar en sus cómodas bancas.

On the Boulevard there are cafes, ice cream parlors, pizzerias and the famous Cinecito. It is a cinema where only children's movies are shown, I went several times in my childhood.

En el Boulevard hay cafés, heladerías, pizzerías y el famoso Cinecito. Es un cine donde sólo proyectan películas infantiles, fui varias veces en mi infancia.

It is one of the busiest areas of Havana, although now with the economic depreciation it is not so much, in other times it was hard to walk, there were many more businesses open, thanks for coming by dear @mipiano

Si es una de las zonas de la Habana más concurridas , aunque ahora con la depreciación económica no es tanto, en otro tiempo a veces costaba trabajo caminar , habían muchos más negocios abiertos, gracias por pasar querida @mipiano
