We propose you to make attractive tours through the streets and historical places of Havana so that you can know the history of the city in a different way.

HABANA INTIMA is one of the most attractive projects proposed by callecuba58 and invites you to learn about the historical background and subsequent evolution of edificios, streets, walks, squares and parks. At the same time, it allows us to discover the presence of important personalities in that environment and, most importantly, to appreciate how that immense patrimonial work dialogues with the Cuban reality of today.

We propose two tours related to José Martí (1853-1895), considered the most universal of Cubans:
