San Rafael is more "local" than Obispo. Just before Parque Fé, you will find a huge Artisanal market at left hand inside an old store house. Souvenirs are cheeper here compared to other places.

This old fortress, "El Morro", has a very beautiful location. You can appreciate Havana from the other side of the tunnel. At sunset, the canons sound in a solemn moment - go in the late afternoon.
