Rumba map of Havana

Postby guarachon63 » Tue Feb 08, 2011 2:53 pm

Hi Dario's and Pavlo's conversation in the video thread made me think of a project I started a while ago, a google map of important sites for rumba in havana, both historic and contemporary, take a look:

http://www.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=217127870975108018223.00044851bdcc7c1889f49&ll=23.113779,-82.37817&spn=0.01344,0.021844&t=h&z=16

I just added "Parque Tulipan" at Dario's suggestion. Play around with it and if anyone has any other places to add or photos, get in touch.

saludos

Guarachon,

I thank you for "El Mapa De La Rumba", incredible idea and a document attesting to the history of rumba in La Habana. Priceless!

Hi, great idea! What a pitty I didn't have it during my trip to Cuba. Would it be possible to add short description of each place to the map?

glad you like it. Vasik, if you click on each marker there is usually a brief description of the place, or rather, why it is on the map, or the exact address, if available.
