Havana Streets:
Street Names and City Layout

Havana Streets:
Big parts of Havana have a grid system street layout especially the later built districts, Vedado, Miramar, Nuevo Vedado, Santos Suarez etc. where the streets and avenues bear numbers. In Old and Central Havana the streets have names, the composition of the addresses may appear a bit strange to a foreigner:

The address: Calle 26 e35y39 means 26th street between ( e= entre= between, y= and) 35th and 39th street.
Lots of houses in Havana bear no house number so an indication is given between which side streets the location is.
Ave 1 e /22y24, means first Avenue between 22nd and 24th street.

To make the confusion even greater several streetnames bear two names an old one and a newer name. Sometimes for popular streets the old name is still used. For example : The Paseo del Prado, was renamed in Paseo José Marti but a lot of people are still using the old name Paseo del Prado , most Habaneros speak about the "Prado".
