Little Havana, Cuban neighborhood in Miami, United States.
Little Havana is a Cuban neighborhood in the heart of Miami stretching along Calle Ocho. The streets show colorful murals, shops with hand-rolled cigars, and small restaurants with open kitchens.
The neighborhood emerged in the 1960s as a new home for thousands of Cubans who left the island after the revolution. Within a few years they built shops, schools, and social centers.
The name comes from the Spanish word for Havana and marks the deep connection to the Cuban capital. On weekends the streets fill with salsa rhythms and families meet in cafés for strong Cuban coffee.
A walk along the main street shows most sights within a few blocks. Midday offers the chance to try the food and watch the street life.
The Walk of Fame along Calle Ocho honors Latin American artists with stars embedded in the sidewalk. The names include musicians, actors, and writers from across the Spanish-speaking world.
