Street markers in Havana

In Cental Havana and Old Havana, where sidewalks are tight and space is at a premium, most street names are simply written on small signs affixed to the sides of buildings.

But in the Vedado neighborhood and almost anywhere else in the Havana suburbs, street names are marked on large stones located at street corners.

This is a name marker at the corner of Infanta street and 23 (La Rampa). This is right near the Havana Malecon (seawall). It’s a very busy intersection.
