After breakfast, guided city tour on foot of the historical
centre of Havana including a visit to the Palacio de la Artesania.
Founded on its present site in 1519, the settlement of San
Cristóbal de La Habana prospered mainly due to its
bay, which was a natural port of call for ships sailing to
and from the New World. This was one of the main historical
reasons for the subsequent development of a city noted for
its architectural diversity and whose nucleus still contains
an exceptional collection of buildings put up around public
squares, and has led UNESCO to declare it a part of its world
heritage in 1982. Over eight and a half miles (14 kilometers)
of excellent beaches lie to the east of the Cuban capital,
which is symbolized by the Giraldilla. To the south, a green
belt contributes to a healthful atmosphere. The city itself
is a cultural center with a solid infrastructure of hotels
and is prepared to host all kinds of conferences and congresses.
Alejo Carpentier, one of Cuba's most famous authors, called
it "the city of columns" and focused attention on
its streets, which he considered a perennially rich show of
life, humanity and contrasts that was bound to entertain any
observer. The settlement of San Cristóbal de La Habana,
which was founded in the southwestern part of the island in
1514, was moved to the northern coast of the port of Carenas
in 1519. Every November 16th, the anniversary of its founding
is observed with a picturesque traditional ceremony at the
Templete, around an ancient silk-cotton tree in whose shade-according
to tradition, was the first meeting of the town council and
where the first Mass was held.
