- Malecon (the prominade near the ocean)
- Cafe de la Parroquia

STORYLINE
Hurricane Dean's roared into Mexico's mainland on Wednesday with 100 miles per hour (160 kilometres per hour) winds as thousands fled to shelters.
The US National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm's eye moved ashore shortly before 12 noon (1700 GMT) near the small port city of Tecolutla on the central Gulf coast.
Civil defence workers had already joined troops in moving residents on army trucks to inland shelters.
Dean strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane before making landfall, with its outer bands buffeting the coast of Veracruz state.
Faced with the possibility of heavy flooding in the Veracruz area, one resident told AP Television the only option was to leave.
There is no other option, said Francisco Cordoba, We are not going to drown there.
South of Veracruz state, the storm surge flooded Ciudad del Carmen, a city of 120-thousand people.
Dean swept across the Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday as a ferocious Category 5 hurricane, toppling trees, power lines and houses, but sparing glitzy resorts on the Mayan Riviera.
Officials said they had received no reports of deaths in the Yucatan Peninsula, though driving rain, poor communications and impassable roads made it difficult to determine how isolated Mayan communities fared in the sparsely populated jungle.
Dean killed 13 people in the Caribbean as it travelled through the region.
Greatly weakened as it passed over Yucatan, Dean moved across the Bay of Campeche in the southern Gulf of Mexico, home to more than 100 oil platforms, three major oil exporting ports and the Cantarell oil field, Mexico's most productive.
Laguna Verde, Mexico's only nuclear power plant, suspended production.
Dean became the third most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in recorded history when it smashed into the Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday.

La Musica Son Jarocho
San Diego Anti-War March and Peace Rally protesting the 5th Anniversary of the Iraq Invasion and Occupation, March 15th, 2008, in Teralta Park, City Heights.
Son Jarocho Music of Veracruz:
Remember the song La Bamba? It has its origins in the traditional music called son jarocho from the State of Veracruz, Mexico. The Spanish word son means folk music and jarocho is the particular style of music that originated in the Jarocho region which encompasses the area from the port city of Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico all the way south along the coast to Tehuantepec.
Son jarocho traces its roots to African, Spanish and indigenous cultural elements. The West African influence can be traced to the arrival of people of African descent into Central America and is characterized by a highly repetitive musical structure, by improvisational lyrics with individual call and response, and by its humor and spontaneity. The theatrical music style and the dance element came from Spain while the themes and lyrics focusing on animals were contributed by the people of Mexico.
A classic example of the son jarocho is La Bamba, which features a distinct three-chord repeated pattern underlying a simple verse (or verses), which allow for variation and improvisation. While the genre was not widely known outside Mexico, in the 1950s, Chicano rock musician Richie Valens recorded his seminal version of La Bamba, and unknowingly exposed Americans to some of Mexico's traditional music history.

Mareas tormentosas por huracán (Isaac)
Los fuertes vientos no son la única fuerza mortal durante un huracán. La mayor amenaza para la vida en realidad proviene del agua - en forma de mareas tormentosas.
La marejada ciclónica es el agua del océano que es empujada hacia la costa por la fuerza de los vientos que giran alrededor del huracán. Este aumento combinado con las mareas normales puede aumentar el nivel de agua por 30 pies o más (10 metros).
La marejada combinada con las olas puede causar grandes daños. Se pueden erosionar gravemente las playas y las carreteras costeras. Las olas golpeando pueden sacar barcos y edificios. Cuando las aguas se mueven tierra adentro pueden verse afectados ríos y lagos, y se suman a los niveles de inundación en aumento. Si bien no podemos evitar una marea tormentosa, tenemos sistemas que nos advierten de la amenaza de su entrada.

SUMMARY
=======
Havana (; Spanish: La Habana [la aˈβana] (listen)) is the capital city, largest city, province, major port, and leading commercial center of Cuba. The city has a population of 2.1 million inhabitants, and it spans a total of 781.58 km2 (301.77 sq mi) – making it the largest city by area, the most populous city, and the fourth largest metropolitan area in the Caribbean region.The city of Havana was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century and due to its strategic location it served as a springboard for the Spanish conquest of the Americas, becoming a stopping point for treasure-laden Spanish galleons returning to Spain. The King Philip II of Spain granted Havana the title of City in 1592. Walls as well as forts were built to protect the old city. The sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in Havana's harbor in 1898 was the immediate cause of the Spanish–American War.The city is the center of the Cuban government, and home to various ministries, headquarters of businesses and over 90 diplomatic offices. The current mayor is Marta Hernández of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC). In 2009, the city/province had the third highest income in the country.Contemporary Havana can essentially be described as three cities in one: Old Havana, Vedado and the newer suburban districts. The city extends mostly westward and southward from the bay, which is entered through a narrow inlet and which divides into three main harbors: Mari melena, Guanabacoa and Antares. The sluggish Almendares River traverses the city from south to north, entering the Straits of Florida a few miles west of the bay.The city attracts over a million tourists annually; the Official Census for Havana reports that in 2010 the city was visited by 1,176,627 international tourists, a 20% increase from 2005. Old Havana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. The city is also noted for its history, culture, architecture and monuments. As typical of Cuba, Havana experiences a tropical climate.
