Cojímar is a district in Havana, Cuba, forming a ward (consejo popular) that is part of the Habana del Este municipality. Its population is 20,390.[citation needed]

Overview

It was an inspiration for Ernest Hemingway's 1952 novel The Old Man and the Sea.[1] It was also the location where during the 1940s an enormous great white shark was caught, which is one of the contenders for the largest specimen of all time.[2] However, there is considerable controversy about the accuracy of great white shark measurements taken before modern times.

The Estadio Panamericano is located southwest of the village.[citation needed]
