The Parque Central y Parque de las 8000 Taquillas (Central Park and Park of the 8000 Lockers) are located in the urban centre of the Cuban city of Varadero. Both spaces offer a possibility of leisure for those who want to rest a little from the beach and the hotel atmosphere.
The Parque Central (Central Park) is a small garden where, next to its very high palm trees, you can find two magnificent statues: one of them stands in honour of the Cuban poet José Martí, and the other is a large work called Monumento a los Mártires (Monument to the Martyrs).
One of the main attractions of this park is the open-air artisan market that is placed nearby where you can find a variety of handmade articles and souvenirs.
The Parque de las 8000 Taquillas (Park of the 8000 Lockers) keeps its name in memory of its initial purpose in the 1960s when visitors had the option of storing their belongings in the lockers located there. Today it is the Centro Comercial Hicacos (Hicacos Shopping Centre), which offers all the services of a large department store: shops, boutiques, ice-cream parlours...
