Sleeping on the Job: A Snapshot of Daily Life in Havana's Mercado

29/3/2023

This photo captures a quiet moment at a mercado in Havana's Old Town. The Old Town is a historical highlight of Latin America, featuring an architectural masterpiece of grand palaces and meticulously preserved squares. However, the area also reveals the realities of an urban community emerging from the economic chaos of the 1990s. This vignette of Havana's Old Town is both grand and gritty, inspiring and frustrating, commendable and lamentable. In this photo, a butcher takes a nap in the back of his stall – Havana, Cuba.
