About Little Havana and Calle Ocho

Order a cafecito at a ventanita and you have a reason to stop on Calle Ocho. The street gathers restaurants, murals and references to the Cuban community. Look for the sidewalk stars honoring Latin personalities, Celia Cruz among them.

At Máximo Gómez Park, known as Domino Park, watch the games without interrupting the players; ask permission before photographing people. Round out the walk with a pastelito and time for lunch. Plan transportation from Vizcaya to the neighborhood.
