Hello Worldmappin friends! Today I want to share with you a trip I took with my nephew to a truly special corner of Havana: the Gardens of the Hotel Nacional de Cuba. This place, located in the Vedado neighborhood, on Taganana Hill, is a green space of great beauty. It's a balcony overlooking the sea, a refuge of tropical elegance, and a witness to important moments in Cuban history.
*¡Hola amigos de Worldmappin! Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes un paseo que realice junto a mi sobrino a un rincón realmente especial de La Habana, los Jardines del Hotel Nacional de Cuba. Este lugar, ubicado en el barrio del Vedado, en la colina de Taganana, es un espacio verde de gran belleza. Es un balcón con vistas al mar, un refugio de elegancia tropical y testigo de momentos importantes de la historia cubana.*

From the moment you arrive, the lush vegetation and palm trees swaying in the sea breeze envelop you in a calm atmosphere. Paths meander through centuries-old trees, shaded swings, and peacocks stroll naturally among visitors, as if part of the garden's living furniture. The attention to detail is attentive, the atmosphere immaculate, and every corner invites you to linger a little longer.
*Desde que llegas, la vegetación exuberante y las palmas que se mecen con la brisa marina te envuelven en una atmósfera de calma. Los senderos serpentean entre árboles centenarios, columpios bajo la sombra y pavos reales que caminan con naturalidad entre los visitantes, como si fueran parte del mobiliario vivo del jardín. La atención es esmerada, el ambiente pulcro, y cada rincón invita a quedarse un rato más.*

These gardens are notable for their natural beauty, but they also hold a wealth of history. This space has been inhabited since ancient times, served as a strategic military base during the colonial era, and has been the scene of important political events. It still preserves vestiges such as cannons and trenches that reflect its role at key moments in Cuban history, making it a place where nature and history coexist in harmony.
*Estos jardines destacan por su belleza natural, Pero también tienen una gran riqueza histórica. Este espacio ha sido habitado desde tiempos antiguos, ha servido como punto estratégico militar durante la época colonial y ha sido escenario de importantes acontecimientos políticos. Aún conserva vestigios como cañones y trincheras que reflejan su papel en momentos clave de la historia cubana, convirtiéndolo en un lugar donde la naturaleza y la historia conviven en armonía.*

In the center of the gardens, a stone fountain adorned with colorful mosaics murmurs incessantly. The clear water falls and pools, resplendent in the sun, creating a serene cadence. From this central point, the imposing silhouette of the hotel rises, majestic and firm. Its architecture, reflecting a golden age, projects itself out onto the surrounding greenery. The corridors that border the gardens invite relaxation. There, visitors find themselves on spacious, cool sofas, protected by the shade of the columns and the swaying palm trees. From these quiet corners, one can observe the harmony of the landscape. Everything in this place seems designed to linger and discover, in every detail, the beauty of timelessness.
*En el centro de los jardines , una fuente de piedra adornada con mosaicos de colores murmura sin cesar. El agua clara cae y se acumula resplandeciendo con el sol y propiciando una cadencia serena. Desde ese punto central, se alza la imponente silueta del Hotel, majestuosa y firme. Su arquitectura, que refleja una épocas doradas, se proyecta sobre el verdor que lo rodea. Los corredores que bordean los jardines invitan al descanso. Allí, los visitantes se acomodan amplios y frescos sofas, protegidos por la sombra de las columnas y el vaivén de las palmas. Desde esos rincones tranquilos, se puede observar la armonía del paisaje. Todo en este lugar parece dispuesto para que la mirada se detenga y descubra, en cada detalle, la belleza de lo atemporal.*

This hotel has always been a symbol of luxury and has hosted numerous personalities from the world of film, politics, and even aristocrats, who have felt comfortable and relaxed strolling through these gardens. During my visit, my nephew and I enjoyed a refreshing moment on the swings, admired the compass rose drawn on the ground, and marveled at the pool's jets, which added a touch of serenity to the setting.
*Este hotel siempre ha sido un símbolo de lujo y ha albergado a numerosas personalidades del mundo del cine, la política e incluso aristócratas, quienes se han sentido cómodos y relajados paseando por estos jardines. En mi visita, junto a mi sobrino, disfrutamos de un momento de frescura en los columpios, admiramos la rosa náutica dibujada en el suelo y nos maravillamos con los surtidores de la piscina, que añaden un toque de serenidad al entorno.*

For me, the most significant aspect is the view from there, a generous panorama of the seawall and the sea that stretches out, deep and blue, as if trying to merge with the sky. Walking surrounded by the sea breeze is a unique experience, inviting introspection and tranquility, as your gaze is lost in those seemingly infinite liquid tones. Before saying goodbye, I had a delicious malt over ice, perfect for mitigating the heat. It was a pleasant visit, full of small pleasures and moments that remain fondly engraved.
*Para mí, lo más significativo son las vistas que se aprecian desde allí, una panorámica generosa del malecón y ese mar que se extiende, azul y profundo, como si quisiera fundirse con el cielo. Caminar envuelta en la brisa marina es una experiencia única, que invita a la introspección y al sosiego, mientras la mirada se pierde en esas tonalidades líquidas que parecen no tener fin. Antes de despedirnos, tomé una malta bien fría con hielos, perfecta para mitigar el calor. Fue una visita agradable, llena de pequeños placeres y momentos que se quedan grabados con dulzura.*
