Where is “Little Havana”
located?
La Pequeña Habana
The official name is Southwest Eight Street but everyone
knows it as Calle Ocho, the artery that keeps the heart of
Little Havana beating. Cubans who fled the island in
1960 recreated their community west of Brickell Avenue,
imbuing it with nostalgia for their heritage.
The vibrant neighborhood, home also to many residents
from Nicaragua and Honduras, has a distinct Latin flavor
with signs and billboards en español and music to match.
Everything is authentic: from the fruit stands and cigar
factories to the eat-at windows of the cafeterias where
patrons passionately discuss politics.

and view quirky architecture painted tropical colors. It's a
lively urban scene, by day or night…
