Havana remains one of my favorite cities in the world to visit.
Diego Grandi/ShutterstockI've visited Havana over 30 times and studied and researched the city for 10 different guidebooks.
I love the Cuban city for its irrepressible street energy and animated, resilient people.
When first arriving in town, I gravitate to the historic squares and thoroughfares of the Old Town and then head for a lengthy stroll along the Malecón sea drive.
Here, at one of the city's most famous meetup spots, I can get a handle on the city's mood, reacquaint myself with my Cuban friends, and see what's changed since my last visit.
