What To Expect
If you want to know how to navigate Little Havana like locals do, join us for a fun stroll through the rustic villa while savoring delicious Cuban bites along the way. You will be armed with invaluable information on where to eat, admire art, listen to live music and dance salsa till late hours of the night!
We will visit Maximo Gomez Domino Park, The Cuban Memorial Blvd., a secret religious site and we’ll watch the art of cigar rolling at our favorite cigar factory. We will also pay tribute to the “Damas De Blanco” and “Amor Al Arte” murals while learning about the extraordinary stories that lead each artist to put their stamp in the neighborhood.
Starting around noon, many tourists descend into the neighborhood. If you prefer fewer crowds and more elbow room at each location, we recommend this experience that starts at 10:00 am and last 1.5 hours.
