I guess the closest word we have in English would be Boardwalk? I just wanted to make a note to come back to this later because the idea of a Malecon – a public, ocean-front boulevard – has a lot of cache. Maybe because in Florida where I live so much waterfront real estate is private, but I LOVE the idea of a Malecon. Like South Beach, Las Olas in Ft. Lauderdale or a somewhat similar but very tourist-y version in Virginia Beach – these spaces are a simultaneous enjoyment of nature, other people and city life. For me it doesn’t get much better and I look forward to visiting other versions of The Malecon – hopefully in Havana one day, then maybe Puerto Vallarta, Marbella … Where else?
