Sultry Miami… at the crossing between American, Hispanic and Carribean culture, it’s a city full of rythm and colours. At first glance, it looks like any other metropolis. But my impression while driving downtown was that it looked new and quite sleek too with that elevated train driving around the skyscraper. My trip to Miam being very short, I concentrated it in 2 areas: Little Havana and Miami Beach. First stop: the famous Sothwest 8th street or Calle Ochos as it is called. Calle Ocho is Little Havana’s main street. Since the Revolution, more than 300.000 Cubans have emigrated in the Miami area and now, they are a cultural, economical and political force to be reckoned with. In fact, the Cuban lobby has a big weight in the balance of US policy towards Cuba. And at the local level, the mayor, Manuel Diaz, is from Cubam origins, Once in Calle Ochos, you almost feel like you’ve been transported to the island. Salsa and rumba can be heard from store, little coffee places are everywhere. Take a seat in one of them and soak in the athmosphere. Walk around, you’ll come around grocery stores, colourful restaurants… When you get at the crossroad of Calle Ocho and 13th avenue, also called "Memorial Bouleverd", take a stroll and watch the monuments... some are religious (a statue of the Virgin Mary), some are poltical (a monument to the distrous "Bay of Pigs"). All are celebrating Cuba. Leave a Comment Address: SouthWest 8th street and around

 Street Artist Calle Ocho by arlenebergLeave a Comment

Little Havana is located in the heart of Miami and is an ethnic enclave with many Cuban immigrant residents. Calle Ocho (8th Street) is the main street in Little Havana, and is a good place to start your tour around Little Havana…
The Maximo Gomez Park (or Domino Park) is where the older generation of Cubans meets every day to play dominoes or chess. Hollywood has their ‘Walk of Fame’, but Little Havana has the ‘Walk of the Stars’ (Paseo de las Estrellas). Here in Little Havana stars are given to Latin-American actors, writers, artists and musicians. You’ll also find many good Cuban (and other Latin-American) restaurants with great food in Little Havana.
Each year (in March - during the carnival in Miami), Calle Ocho is home to one of the largest street festivals in the World, with over one million visitors. There will be dancing, live music, costumes, street performers… Address: SW 8th Street
