Fusterlandia
On a recent Havana trip this past January, I took a ride westward out to Fusterlandia. Let me share some of what I saw…

Very cool, CW! Thanks for sharing! Your fotos are excellent! I've still never been to Havana, although it has always been on my bucket list. Someday before I croak it, for sure. Terry

Not a top 5 must see in Havana but a possible top 12.
Interesting place.

José Fuster of Jaimanitas (Havana) was influenced by Antonio Gaudi of Barcelona Spain. I had the privilege of visiting some of Gaudi's works in Barcelona last year.
Yes, there is a definite similarity.

Homage to Gaudi in Cuba

I should do a good stroll around this area on my next visit. Only went through here in a taxi many years ago.

We took a taxi to Fusterlandia. It is a small neighbourhood. I am not sure what the surrounding area is like. I don’t remember seeing the ocean while there.

From what I saw of Miramar/Playa on a bike, I still prefer Vedado for my everyday living. Fusterlandia is worth the excursion but that is a ridiculous walk from central Havana.
