Don't leave Miami without visiting this neighbourhood. Little Havana was a great place to visit ! Walking along you hear music , some of it live , smell delicious food and of course , coffee and cigars !! We had a great meal , bought a few items and took pictures at the murals !

Home to many Cuban exiles, as well as many immigrants from Central and South America, Little Havana is named after Havana, the capital and largest city in Cuba. Little Havana is noted as a center of social, cultural, and political activity in Miami.

Although many shrines are built by Catholics, perhaps an equal number, if not more, are erected by followers of a fascinating, syncretic Afro-Cuban cult religion called Santeria.

The neighborhood is centered around Calle Ocho (Southwest Eighth Street), a vibrant thoroughfare lined with Latin-inspired restaurants, bakeries, fruit stands, cigar shops, rum bars, art galleries and music venues.
