A walk between cobblestones and chocolate [en/es]

in Wednesday Walk11 months ago (edited)

Hello, my dear friends of Wednesday Walk!

I want to show you a walk that we took a few days ago, but that I had not been able to share with you, of a group of cheerful hivers girls, through the oldest part of Havana. It was a small getaway from an activity we attended, With her I join the #wednesdaywalk challenge, promoted by @tattoodjay

Walking along those cobblestone streets, we arrived at the corner where Amargura and Mercaderes streets intersect, right there we found the "Museo Casa del Chocolate". Without thinking twice, we headed there, since chocolate is one of the passions of Cubans.

¡Hola, mis queridos amigos de Paseo de Miércoles!

Quiero mostrarles un paseo que realizamos, hace unos días, pero que no había podido compartir con ustedes, de un grupo de alegres chicas hivers, por la parte más antigua de La Habana. Fue una pequeña escapada de una actividad que asistimos, con ella me uno al reto #wednesdaywalk, promovido por @tattoodjay

Caminando por esas calles empedradas, llegamos a la esquina donde se cruzan las calles Amargura y Mercaderes, justo allí encontramos el "Museo Casa del Chocolate". Sin pensarlo dos veces, nos dirigimos allí, ya que el chocolate es una de las pasiones de los cubanos.




This museum functions as a cafeteria, which has always captivated me. You can enjoy delicious chocolate while the walls tell you the story of the origin of cocoa. It is incredible to think that it was introduced to the island by French settlers in 1540. Furthermore, the display cases and walls of the place become silent narrators, capturing the evolution of chocolate over time.

Este museo funcina como cafetería, lo que siempre me ha cautivado. Podrás disfrutar de un delicioso chocolate mientras las paredes te cuentan la historia del origen del cacao. Resulta increíble pensar que fue introducido en la isla por colonos franceses en 1540. Además, los vitrinas y paredes del lugar se convierten en narradores silenciosos, captando la evolución del chocolate a lo largo del tiempo.


Although the place was quiet due to the small number of customers, that was not a problem for us. That day, the cafeteria had very limited offerings. Although we would have loved to taste other specialties, the most important thing was to enjoy the meeting, so for us it was perfect, as we were able to chat about our projects and occupations, as well as enjoy a cheerful afternoon among Cuban hivers. We love to call ourselves cuhivers.

Aunque el local estaba tranquilo debido a la poca afluencia de clientes, eso no fue un problema para nosotros. Ese día, la cafetería tenía una oferta muy limitada. Aunque nos hubiera encantado degustar otras especialidades, lo más importante era disfrutar del encuentro, así que para nosotros fue perfecto, ya que pudimos charlar sobre nuestros proyectos y ocupaciones, además de disfrutar de una tarde alegre entre hivers cubanos. Nos encanta llamarnos cuhivers.


While we were tasting the delicious chocolate, we calmly contemplated the place, it was restored by the Office of the Historian and converted into a chocolate museum since 2003, that is, 20 years ago!
Dare to stop by this corner of Havana, although I know it is one of the most visited in the area, because of its history and that delicious chocolate. I hope that little by little their offer improves and presents the extensive menu that they had before, in which both Cubans and foreign tourists lined up just to taste those flavors.
Greetings friends, this was the tour I had for you, enjoy it!!

Mientras degustábamos el delicioso chocolate, contemplamos tranquilamente el lugar, fue restaurado por la Oficina del Historiador y convertido en museo del chocolate desde 2003, es decir, ¡hace 20 años!
Animense a pasar por aquí este rincón de La Habana, aunque sé que es uno de los más visitados de la zona, por su historia y ese delicioso chocolate. Espero que poco a poco su oferta mejore y presente el extenso menú que tenían antes, en el que tanto cubanos como turistas extranjeros hacían fila solo para degustar esos sabores.
Saludos amigos, este era el tour que tenía para ustedes, disfrútenlo!!

I don't know why I got the idea that coffee was your town's favorite drink, it's good to know what chocolate is, and that they have such a beautiful place full of history to drink a delicious cup of chocolate.
What a beautiful place, dear friend @lileisabel, I appreciate that you have shared this girls' experience.
Have a wonderful morning

Well, Cubans have a lot of roots and you are right, coffee is super important in our culture, but so is chocolate, which for different reasons sometimes we don't have a lot of chocolate even if we want to and we also love linking those two flavors, thank you friend for always enjoying .

If the combination of chocolate and coffee is excellent, in Argentina they call this mixture cappuccino

I love cappuccino, different mixes are made here including cappuccini, I love them all haha ​​😋

Yes, the cafeteria has evolved a lot, and there are many delicacies to enjoy.
Have a wonderful afternoon, a big hug for the whole family

Que delicioso paseo mi hermana @lileisabel, en casa son adictos al chocolate, ese es un paseo que disfrutarían mucho , feliz día 🌹🌷🌻🌸🌺🪷🏵️🌼💮💐🎄☘️

What a delicious ride my sister @lileisabel, at home they are addicted to chocolate, that's a ride they would enjoy a lot , happy day 🌹🌷🌻🌸🌺🪷🏵️🌼💮💐🎄☘️

Chocolate is divine, as many of us like, nice day for you too ♥️

🌹🌷

Very nice tour and with colleagues from Hive much more. I have visited the chocolate house and it is really interesting because there is the history of Cacao in Cuba. Too bad there were not more offers because the chocolates that are made there are a delight. What a nice tour friend, thanks for sharing. I wish you a good end of the year. Health and happiness to your family.🥰

That's it, dear, it's depressed like everything else, the chocolate there is handmade, but the lack must be due to the current deficiencies. But the important thing is that we had a great time 👍♥️

Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)

Sorry short comments today in a funky mood and if I try to do longer comments they may not come across well LOL
Have a great day :)

Don't worry friend, I understand 👋

How delicious, I love chocolate! What a nice meeting with friends cuhivers! 🎉🎊🥳

That's right, dear, the chocolate is very delicious, I also like it a lot and if we combine it with coffee, the best haha

I have not yet visited the "Museo Casa del Chocolate" even though it is one of the most famous places in Old Havana, but seeing the joyful faces of those cuhivers 🥰, it will be one of my first trips next year.

Yo todavía no he visitado el "Museo Casa del Chocolate" a pesar de que es uno de los sitios más conocidos de la Habana Vieja, pero viendo las caras de alegría de esas cuhivers 🥰, pues será unos de mis primeros paseos para el año próximo.

Pues nada amiga cuando quieras podemos hacer ese tour esas calles de la Habana me fascinan mira que las he recorrido veces y no me canso , siempre hay algo nuevo

Well, nothing, my friend, whenever you want, we can take that tour. Those streets of Havana fascinate me. Look, I have visited them many times and I don't get tired of them. There is always something new.

Ay, qué rico. Me perdí el chocolatico por andar apurada ese día jaja. Bello paseo, La Habana es bella. 🥰

Siii, te lo perdiste , pero no importa tendremos oportunidad de nuevo seguro 👍❤️

Me encanta ese lugar, yo siempre que paso entro y vuelvo a mirar todo lo que está en exposición como si fuera la primera vez. Ay, es que el chocolate es mi pasión. 😁

¡Qué lindas se ven ustedes ahí! Bueno, es que son lindas.

Si es un lugar muy significativo , también me gusta, es chocolate es un vicio difícil de combatir, el que lo prueba no lo deja jaja. Si a esa reunión faltaste tu, siempre pensamos que llegarías

🥴 Nos veremos pronto. El año que viene. 😂

El chocolate estaba delicioso, y la compañía mejor jaja. Un día especial!

Así fue querida , dentro de poco repetimos , esas antiguas calles nos llaman jjj , es delicioso caminar por ellas 😜
