After a tough 2022, marked by crises, blackouts and the departure of too many Cubans in search of other horizons, Havana said goodbye to the year between routines and celebrations.
In the midst of the shortages, the people of Havana tried to close the year as well as possible, with more intimate or more ostentatious celebrations, while not a few visitors chose the Cuban capital to receive the new year.

Many went for a walk in the city, to breathe the festive atmosphere of the end of December, to enjoy parks and restaurants, or even to dance with an orchestra.
Others preferred to stay at home, with family and friends, have their own feast in the neighborhood, or simply end the year with recollection and tranquility.
