Introduction

Little Havana is Miami's most characterful Latin neighbourhood; since the mid-20th-century Cuban exodus centred on Calle Ocho, it became a hub of exile culture and nostalgia. Domino Park (Máximo Gómez) gathers chess-playing elders, cigar shops scent the air with hand-rolled tobacco, and galleries and Latin eateries pulse with salsa. Whether for a cafecito, an impromptu percussion jam or the March Calle Ocho Festival, it immerses you in the heat and resilience of 'Latin Miami'.
