The photos 📸 are my entry to the #monomad contest from 
A few days ago, while walking around Vedado, I stopped by Coppelia to have some ice cream. For decades, this place has been an almost mandatory stop for Havana residents —a spot to cool off and meet up with family and friends. Nowadays, it doesn’t have the same variety of flavors it once had, but it’s still a popular destination for both the young and the not-so-young.
Anyway, I decided to take a few photos of the place, but after barely five shots, one of the workers came rushing toward me to tell me that photography wasn’t allowed. I honestly didn’t understand why, especially since dozens of people were taking pictures with their phones all around me. Still, without arguing or getting upset, I simply walked out through another door and ended up enjoying my ice cream at a nearby private café —where, by the way, they were delighted that I was taking photos there.
Here are the few images I managed to capture inside Coppelia. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.
Hace unos dĂas, paseando por el Vedado, entrĂ© al Coppelia a tomar un helado. Este lugar ha sido por dĂ©cadas un punto de encuentro casi obligatorio para los habaneros, ideal para refrescarse y reunirse con familiares y amigos. Hoy ya no tiene la variedad de sabores que ofrecĂa antaño, pero aun asĂ sigue siendo un destino recurrente entre los jĂłvenes y no tan jĂłvenes.
En fin, me dispuse a hacer una pequeña sesiĂłn fotográfica, pero sin haber tomado ni cinco fotos una trabajadora del lugar se me acercĂł casi corriendo para decirme que no podĂa hacer fotos. No entendĂ muy bien por quĂ©, sobre todo cuando decenas de personas estaban haciendo lo mismo con sus mĂłviles. Pero bueno, sin ánimo de discutir ni de molestarme, simplemente salĂ por otra puerta y terminĂ© disfrutando mi helado en un negocio privado a un par de cuadras, donde por cierto estuvieron encantados de que hiciera fotos allĂ.
Aquà les dejo las pocas fotos que alcancé a tomar dentro del Coppelia. Los leo en los comentarios.
