Alamar

East across the river from Cojímar is a large housing estate of prefabricated apartment blocks built from 1971 by micro brigadas (small armies of workers who built post-revolution housing). This is the birthplace of Cuban rap, and an annual hip-hop festival is centered here. It is also the home of one of Cuba's largest and most successful urban agricultural gardens, the Organopónico Vivero Alamar.
