Except that there are no workers on the scaffolding. You only have to stray a little from the tourist streets to see the dilapidation of some of the homes, most of which are still inhabited. The misery in the historic centre was exacerbated by Hurricane Irma in 2017: some 30,000 homes were destroyed in a single night (14,600 of them completely), particularly in the streets adjacent to the Malec\u00f3n on the seafront. Even during the Revolution, only 500 of the 3,000 buildings in the old town were in good condition. The cause: the lack of public investment over many years, the owners' lack of resources and recurring shortages of building materials, if not their prohibitive cost. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P1040988-Copier-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Havana.

As for the rest, apart from the big hotels and tourist streets, all the buildings are dilapidated, ageing or in ruins. The faded colour of the fa\u00e7ades, with their baroque, art deco and neoclassical allure, and the laundry, plants and electrical wires that cling to them, are certainly part of the city's charm. But you can't help but be touched by the poverty that shines through the different neighbourhoods. Havana is far from a smooth, sanitised city. It's an endearing, sensual city that takes time to discover. It's a blend of modern life and a dying city.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/P1050933-Copier-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Havana.
