Paseo del Prado

Introduction

The Paseo del Prado is a broad, elegant tree-lined avenue running through Cienfuegos—the "Pearl of the South"'s most lively urban main artery, and a great place to feel Cienfuegos' daily flavor and elegant style. Said to be among Cuba's longest avenues, it is straight and broad, with a green pedestrian belt in the center planted with trees, benches, sculptures and decorative lamp posts, elegantly separating the two-way lanes; on both sides stand elegant, columned Neoclassical and Eclectic buildings—showing the French-founded city's elegance. The Prado runs south from the old city center to the beautiful Cienfuegos bay and the elegant Punta Gorda residential area, linking the historic core with the bay scenery. The avenue is also the stage of Cienfuegos' daily life—at dusk citizens come to the green belt to stroll, sit, chat, date; children play, music faint—a leisurely, vivid city life. Strolling the Prado, admiring the elegant buildings, feeling locals' pleasant daily life, walking toward the bay—a pleasant roam into Cienfuegos' elegance and everyday life.
