Havanna, capital of the country, is the most populated city all over Cuba. Thousands of people from all corners of the Island –or from inland as the call it down here: all Cuban provinces’ inhabitants but Havanna City’s- have settled down mainly in Old Havana where this photoreportage takes place. This massive settlement gave birth to Havanna’s solares, street’s inner inhabited spaces with a common one-way-out door.
Havanna’s solares –famous for the overpopulation in a very reduced area, the cultural melting pot, and the way of life of its dwellers- has a charm; but running alongside, as everybody wants to live in the capital, lots of problems come around, specially in the housing field.
The following photo-series was taken in Old Havana while on an AP-sponsored worshop last May where Cuban professional photojournalists got together to learn and share experiences lead by outstanding AP photojournalist and photo editors: Enric Marti (Chief photo-editor for Latin America and the Caribbean), Ricardo Mazalan (AP Photographer in Colombia), Javier Galeano (AP photographer in Cuba), and Dario López-Mill (AP photo-editor in Mexico).
